Introduction To Springbarrel



We began Springbarrel Songwriter Services following the success of hit songwriter Howard Perdew. The blessing and good fortune of that success opened many doors allowing us to fulfill a passion for helping other songwriters accomplish their goals. This passion is the foundation on which Springbarrel was built and still stands today.

Springbarrel Songwriter Services is known throughout the music community as a comfortable place which is frequented by professional songwriters, musicians, engineers, producers and a host of other music business folk. Take a load off, bend an ear, share project info, and of course, find a hit song - all in a pleasant atmosphere. But, our doors are also open to new and upcoming musical talents. Nothing pleases us more than to find the next hitmaker among those with whom we come in contact.

We take pride in being accessible to writers at an early stage in their career and we strive to develop long lasting relationships. By helping writers make informed decisions early on, we can help their careers grow. New writers have said they (quote), "love the open, friendly, yet competitive atmosphere." They also appreciate that our service includes feedback from the people we pitch their songs to. We highly value the opinions of record producers and A&R staff and we like to pass their comments along to our clients.

Writer/clients who are (or have been) signed to publishing contracts appreciate that there's no such thing as the flavor of the week at Springbarrel. In other words, we don't give up on a great song just because it isn't cut right away. We will continue to pitch a great song to find the right artist and project. Promoting greatness just makes sense to us.

Springbarrel is fortunate to have an extremely dedicated and talented staff and we'd like to take this opportunity to thank them for their good work. (You're the Best!)

Also, we are surrounded by the masters of Bayou Recording, a great facility recently rated by readers of Music Row Magazine as one of Nashville's top 5 studios. The Bayou is staffed by friendly, talented people intent upon satisfying their clients' recording needs. Somehow, every session evolves into an effort among friends who are working to reach a common goal.

Finally, we hope to continue to grow - in wisdom, talent, prosperity, and last, but not least, in our fundamental and universal love of music as we give the glory to the Creator of it all.
