Sat, 31 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800

Yes, EFFRON-ites! The forthcoming "Long Haul" cd is well underway. It is being produced and engineered by John Inmon, in Bastrop, TX. The release date is set, tentatively, for mid-March, 2012. I would like to thank my 3 Executive Producers for their generous contributions: Walt Eilers, Russell Winburn, and Neal Pendergraft.

If you are interested in contributing, and would like to be listed on the outside of the cd cover as an Executive Producer, contact me at effronwhite@effronwhite.com or call 479-200-1631 for details. Your contribution would help assure that I meet the release date of March 1st! Any Executive Producer will be rewarded 4 of the new cds, as well as a standing invitation to book me for a 2-hr house party, free of charge (does not include travel, lodging, or food expenses for non-local bookings), on a date agreeable to both of us.

I am excited about this cd, and I can't wait to get it into your hands!

Local Singer/Songwriter in Nationwide Publication
Fayetteville singer-songwriter, Effron White, has added yet another feather to his songwriting cap. The Kerrville Ã¢â‚¬Å“New FolkÃ¢â‚¬Â Winner and Northwest Arkansas Music Hall of Famer has been awarded Third Place in American Songwriter magazineÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s bi-monthly lyric contest. The lyrics to his song, Ã¢â‚¬Å“Long HaulÃ¢â‚¬Â are published in the March/April issue of the magazine along with the lyrics of the other three top four finalists. In his company are First Place winner, Lauren Strange (Germantown, TN); Second Place, Michael McGarrah (Phoenix, AZ); and Fourth Place, Wade Newman (Loveland, CO).
White, who has placed in numerous songwriting contests over the last 10 years, could chalk this one up as Ã¢â‚¬Å“just anotherÃ¢â‚¬Â award, but this one is really special. In each issue, the American Songwriter staff chooses one of the four finalists in the lyric contest to do a Ã¢â‚¬Å“Lyric SpotlightÃ¢â‚¬Â interview. The article is then published in the same issue of the magazine as the selecteeÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s winning lyric. The March/April issue presents Effron White in the Ã¢â‚¬Å“Lyric SpotlightÃ¢â‚¬Â. In the article White relates how the song, Ã¢â‚¬Å“Long HaulÃ¢â‚¬Â (about a trucker enduring some heart-rending circumstances) came about, and offers some insight into how he balances his music career with a day job and family.
The magazine is available in most major bookstores. You can also view Effron WhiteÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s interview online at American SongwriterÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s website, www.americansongwriter.com.
