Have you performed a Carner & Gregor song in 2019? Enter Our Drawing!

June 19, 2019

If you’ve sung a song of ours in a cabaret, concert, recital, competition, or other live forum in front of an audience in 2019, we want to know about it!

Why? First of all, because we love to know about how and where our songs are having life out in the world. Second, because we can receive royalties based on listing those performances with ASCAP. (Don’t worry, no one receives a bill! Live performance institutions pay a blanket licensing fee, and we just want to get our percentage.) But we can only do that if we know what performances took place — and all we need is the information.

As a thank you for letting us know, and for sharing our work, we’re offering the following prizes to be determined by random drawing:

1st Prize (One Winner): a 50-minute Skype coaching with Sam Carner on any material of your choice.
2nd Prize (Three Winners): sheet music to the entire ISLAND SONG songbook.
3rd Prize (Five Winners): sheet music to any Carner & Gregor song of your choice, plus an ADVANCE copy of a song from our new show, TECHIES.

To send us your performance info and claim your chance to win one of these prizes, just go to this simple Google Form we’ve set up: https://forms.gle/Tgcsi8Yh9bLRNc2u9

We’ll be accepting submissions until midnight on Wednesday, June 26th. And remember, if you’ve performed more than one Carner & Gregor song this year, you can submit the form multiple times for more chances to win. We look forward to your responses!

*NOTE: Live performances do not include auditions or private music lessons. Please feel free to email [email protected] with any questions at all.

Thank you as always for bringing our work to life!

Love,
Sam & Derek

ISLAND SONG studio cast full album is out! And it’s a FREE download!

September 7, 2017

Island Song album coverIt’s finally here! The ISLAND SONG studio cast recording starring Jackie Burns, Lilli Cooper, Kimiko Glenn, Troy Iwata, and Jeremy Jordan — with a bonus track by Natalie Weiss!

We built ISLAND SONG piece by piece, in dialogue with singers buying the sheet music and performing the songs in their own hometowns, folks around the world watching videos of the songs on Youtube, friends in New York sharing crazy and intense experiences that eventually got turned into songs, and more. In recognition of the truly communal effort it took to create ISLAND SONG, we’re releasing all 83 minutes of the recording FREE OF CHARGE. We hope you enjoy hearing it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Now head over to the ISLAND SONG page to get your copy!
