Here at BURL Audio we have had the great pleasure of working with some of the best musicians, vocalists, producers and engineers in the music industry. A few of them have been gracious enough to lend their time to selecting their favorite songs in the BURL Audio 2024 Songwriting contest, "Come Together".
We have had some truly amazing entries and it is really hard to decide which songs are "The Best." This is a very subjective process. Thank you to all who have entered. We will be announcing the winners during the first week of June.
