Songwriters Showcase encourages sharing of original music by regional singer songwriters.

Eric Balayti and Shawn Healy of Dubuque based band Feast of Mutton feature a distinct Eastern-European sound with haunting songs of heartache and despair.

Calvin Coohey, a Dubuque native who has been playing guitar since age 11, has written more than 200 original classical guitar, rock and metal songs.

The Showcase will be held outdoors at the Center, weather permitting. Refreshments will be available.
