Along with featuring established songwriters, The Hook also lets <em>anyone<\/em> sign up for an opportunity to perform a song in front of an audience and panel. And yes, fans of songwriting are also encouraged to attend, along with songwriters from the aspiring to the professional. <\/p><p>Shows in May will run from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., with songwriters who want to participate asked to sign up by 2:30. The shows are on May 3rd, May 10th, May 24, and May 31st. May 17th is off for one of Sagebrush\u2019s famous free lunches.

By breaking down the siloed perspectives that everyone suffers from in the digital age and completely opening up the opportunities to everyone, the best songs and songwriters will emerge with the help of artistic criticism and a dash of humor.<br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Vince Herman (Leftover Salmon) Performs &quot;St. Somebody&quot; on The Hook\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XIdkqMTn1b8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br\/>Though singing competitions abound, and forums for songwriters are not uncommon, \u201cThe Hook\u201d is unique in how it centers the song first, not the singer, or the performance. A good performance can help sell a great song, but a great song can go much further, changing hearts and minds, changing our perspectives on the world, and changing the world itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Hook\u201d believes the next world-changing song is out there just waiting to be heard. It seeks to create a platform to discover and showcase songs in a way that would preserve the small and pure tones of truth that would be otherwise smothered by mainstream noise. \u201cThe Hook\u201d wants to hear the next world changing song, and is ready to dig through the ugly, the profane, and the downright bad to find them.<\/p><p>The Hook held multiple events in Nashville in 2025, and hopes to return to Nashville later this year. But for now, Austin is the spot. It is hosted by Kyle \u201cTrigger\u201d Coroneos of Saving Country Music, and award-winning songwriter Caitlin Cannon. <\/p><p>To stay in touch with The Hook, you can also <strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/the_hook_songs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">follow on Instagram<\/a><\/strong>. <br\/><\/p>\n<!-- PRyC WP: Add custom content to bottom of post\/page: Standard Content START --><\/div><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\r\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\r\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source savingcountrymusic.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Songwriting showcase \u201cThe Hook\u201d has a series of new shows scheduled for Sunday afternoons in May at Austin\u2019s favorite honky tonk and music venue, Sagebrush on South Congress.
