The Mark Heard Songwriting Contest is a new tradition at Cornerstone. It's a chance for amateur/indie songwriters to show us what they've got. The five that played were the contest finalists. Doug Burr, the winner, scored a spot on the upcoming Silent Planet Records Acoustic Stage compilation.

Weird, irrelevant fact: Doug Burr is from Denton, TX, where I went to school for three years. Not-so-weird, relevant fact: Tim Diaz plays with Jan Krist.
