By: Walker Lukens and Zac Catanzaro

It’s Confession Call time again and we need all you aspiring songwriters out there to send in your demos!

Here’s how it works.

  1. Listen to the latest episode of the Song Confessional podcast. You’ll hear an anonymous confession we collected back in March at the KUTX Live at Scholz Garten series during SXSW.
  2. Write a song inspired by that confession and record it – Anything from an iPhone memo to a full-on bedroom production, whatever puts you in the zone.
  3. Submit it to kutx.org/confession by Monday July 28th
  4. Several songs will be featured on the July 30th episode of the Song Confessional podcast
  5. We’ll choose our favorite song and give the winner a day in the studio with Walker to professionally record your song!  The song will also be featured as Song of The Day on KUTX!!
