In July, I acted as Musical Director for the NEA/Playbill’s first-ever National Songwriting Challenge! Three high school students were chosen as finalists, and their incredible songs were workshopped and the performed by a group of professional musicians and singers. I got to work with the fabulously talented Jake Berglove on his song, “Getting it Sweet”.
