WJOA Presents: A Songwriter's Showcase Dan Rauchwerk has worked hard to put together a "Jewish Songwriters in the Round" event featuring three local Jewish songwriters (Dan along with Sam Kestenbaum, and Andrew Weiss) on August 3, 8pm at the ShillelaghTavern. They will be playing their songs and discussing the motivation behind writing them. While the songs are not necessarily religious in nature, Jewish culture plays a significant role in their creative process. For updates see the Faceback event page.
