The 2nd Annual 24-Hour Songwriting Challenge consisted of musicians from New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania who recorded new and original music in a 24-hour period on September 12th, 2015.

Not only is this a fun challenge, all proceeds from the whole album or indivual tracks are going to benefit various chapters of the National Alliance on Mental Illness in New Jersey.

For the artists, whomever’s track receives the most individual downloads from now until November 16th will win time at EightSixteen Studios to re-record their submission as a proper single (minus the 24-hour restriction).

The 37 tracks were curated by Speak Into My Good Eye. You can listen to all tracks here.

To music & mental health,

It goes like this: grab your friends, lovers, children, pick up a bottle of vino and have an exciting evening with talented artists who instruct you how to create your own masterpiece based on the “painting of the evening.” It’s a step-by-step process and no experience is necessary. The night is about creative expression, bonding and fun.

Explore your own creativity to form an individual piece of art that can be a statement piece for your home or a gift for someone else.

The grand opening of the studio, located at 275 Newark Ave., is this Friday, June 5th from 7-10pm. If you can’t make it then, here’s what you need to know for your future visit:
