The finalists have been announced for the 2021 Mississippi Songwriter of the Year.
A panel of elite music industry judges listened to the songs and judged the lyrics to all submitted songs at the famous Wishbone Studio in Muscle Shoals, AL.
Fifteen finalists have been chosen and each will perform at The MAX in Meridian on Saturday, June 19.
The contest gives local artists a chance to highlight their musical talents.
One winner will be chosen to have their song professionally recorded and produced.
