Songwriters At Play blog: We hit the Spot!

Have you been to our Mondays concerts at The SPOT? A little different from the usual Songwriters At Play showcase -- The SPOT is a 50-seat theater, great sound and lighting, the perfect listening room. Our friend Cliff Stepp recorded the Aug. 29 concert -- video and a separate audio line from our sound mixer -- so we'll have samples to post soon on www.songwritersatplay.com.

Here's our schedule for The Spot, 116 W. Branch St., in the Village of Arroyo Grande. General admission is $10, shows begin at 7pm. For info: 805-474-5711, www.thespotag.com:
