CU Student Songwriter's Showcase

About This Event

CU students perform original songs from Professor Mike Barnett's Intro to Songwriting class. Celebrate their creativity and hard work! Join us for an evening of original music as talented CU students take the stage to share the songs they've created throughout the semester! This showcase celebrates the creative work of students from Professor Mike Barnett's Intro to Songwriting class. Over the course of the term, these emerging songwriters have explored a variety of techniques and tools for crafting meaningful, expressive songs—from lyric writing and melody development to arrangement and performance. Now it's time to hear the results. Each student will perform their original compositions, offering a glimpse into their unique perspectives, stories, and artistic voices. Whether you're a fellow student, faculty member, family, friend, or simply a lover of live music, this is a wonderful opportunity to support CU's vibrant creative community and discover new musical talent. Come celebrate the hard work, creativity, and courage it takes to share original songs with the world. We can't wait to see you there!
