Confessions of a No-Frills Indie Songwriter
I'm really a fan as much as a songwriter, but a lot of songwriters say that. Elvis Costello, Elton John. They were fans first.

Paul Michael Meredith - Peaceful Music
Bay Area harpist and composer Paul Michael Meredith is a truly original artist and musical storyteller. His passionate works evolved out of a growing love affair with the harp as a compositional instrument.
Combining two of the oldest instruments, harp and flute, as well as other instrumentation, Paul weaves melodies that are timeless and heart stirring. Recorded and produced in his private digital studio, Paul's music embodies a depth of feeling and inspiration that's immediately embraced by the ears and heart of the listener. Perhaps one appreciator said it best with, "this music is so
passionate, it deserves a warning label."

Because they didn't have a plastic VIP badge in their possession to flash to get into screenings, Hollywood connections that got them into all the
parties, or have a ton of money to pay to submit their film to a biased selection committee.
