1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Along with fellow key components Nancy Laberge and Joni Delaurier (plus a few other dedicated fellow songwriters), Troy Kokol is at the heart of an amazing collective dedicated to encouraging and educating songwriters here in Calgary. Meeting monthly at a coffee shop to offer open mics that shine a light on original compositions from beginners and veterans alike, they also bring in speakers, music industry experts, and incredible musical guests to inspire and inform their members - and all this without any fee to attend! We mention a couple of times during this conversation how to connect with this group, but if you're a songwriter in Calgary - join their Calgary Songsmiths Facebook page, or check out their hashtag on Instagram. thatdanguy's Podcast http://thatdanguy.libsyn.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/8178248/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/31034225
