At our first meeting on March 24th, writers who wish to submit their work will attend the initial intake meeting to hear music from the artist(s) in question, and receive a creative brief from Richard Stumpf, Senior Vice President of Creative and Marketing from Cherry Lane Music. Additionally, Creatives from publishers will give their insight into the cuts process.  This meeting will be open to anyone who wishes to attend. The participants will  then submit songs to Richard at AIMP@Cherrylane.com no later than April 14th, two weeks prior to the second meeting to be held on April 28th.  Richard and his associates will filter the submissions to a top list of songs that would potentially work. The writers of those top songs will be the special guests at the second, follow-up session where the A&Rs will critique their submissions.  Both sessions will also be open to others who care to learn about this process.

Confirmed artists looking for material and panelists are:

David Cook (RCA) - David Wolter (A&R)

Shanna Crooks (Atlantic) - Jeff Levin (A&R)

Jessie James (Mercury) - Daniel Werner (A&R)
