The Autoharp Quarterly 25th Anniversary Song Writing Contest Winners
First place winner is Barbara Dace of Sacramento, California, for her song “36 Strings.” Barbara has been a fixture of the left coast autoharp scene for some time, and is known for writing songs with clever lyrics, which she displays with a beautiful voice. Barbara has no recordings for sale that I know of, but we hope that changes in the near future. You can find Barbara on Facebook.
Second place went to seasoned performer and song writer Eileen Kozloff of Lakewood Ranch, Florida. She won for her storysong “Down To The South Pole.” Eileen has performed with the group The Well Tempered String band and as a solo artist. She performs at festivals, including autoharp festivals, in the US and internationally. You can see her work and find some very fine music at: www.eileenkozloff.net
