DESCRIPTION:
Chris Ahlman is a SF singer / songwriter, here performing on November 7, 2010 at the Union Room above the Biscuits & Blues cafe in San Francisco. West Coast Songwriters (http://westcoastsongwriters.org), a nonprofit organization founded 30 years ago, is one of the most active music associations in the USA. WCS sponsors more than 15 events per month throughout the West Coast as well as an annual International Song Contest. One recent contest winner, Sara Bareilles, has since seen enormous commercial success with her smash hit, "Love Song". In San Francisco WCS brings in two guest judges each month for an open mike contest where we have an award for Best Song as well as Best Performance. It is generally held on the fourth Tuesday of each month starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Café Royal http://www.caferoyale-sf.com/home.shtml. In addition there are many more monthly songwriting competitions all over the West Coast, from Portland, Oregon down to Hollywood, California.
