The Michigan Street Bridge is still threatened.
More than just songs are needed to save her, but you can make a difference
by sending a message much stronger than cards and letters!
While those who oppose the bridge continue to publicly challenge the rehab,
a massive surge of songwriting creativity will add firelight to the fight!
 

What you can do:

Write a song (or ten) inspired by Sturgeon Bay's Michigan Street Bridge.
  Make an mp3 recording and send it to: songdrive@songtsunami.com
Songs can be any length, any genre. Lyrics can be literal or metaphorical, serious or silly.
We intend to present to Governor Doyle an iPod loaded with a thousand bridge songs
on stage at this year's Steel Bridge Songfest Saturday, June 13th.
The existing collection, Steel Bridge Songs Vols. 1-4, contains about 50 songs inspired by the bridge.
We have at least a hundred more in our vaults. We'd like to add at least 900 more before June 1st.
A selection of the best will be included in the upcoming compilation disc, Steel Bridge Songs Vol.5,
which will be released to the public sometime in 2010.
One song will be chosen as this year's Steel Bridge theme,
and be re-recorded with full production at Sturgeon Bay's Studio 330.

In the spirit of "Construction Zone" songwriter workshops, we encourage co-writing,
but solo works are also welcomed.
Please submit original songs in the form of Mp3 files (9MB or less) to: songdrive@songtsunami.com
There are no submission fees, no restrictions on content or eligibility,
and no limit on the number of submissions per songwriter.
Writers retain full ownership of all rights to their songs.

Send lyrics without music via email and we'll post them
on the "Lyrics Awaiting Music" page of the SongTsunami website.

Chosen songs will be performed by the writers in a special concert during this summer's Steel Bridge Songfest.
A handful of participating writers will be chosen to attend the next “Construction Zone” songwriter sleepover
at the Holiday Motel when it re-opens, to take part in the creation of Steel Bridge Songs Vol.6.

Deadline for submissions is Monday, June 1st.
