Well, graduation season is just about over and it’s finally time for the class of 2013 to embark on a new journey. Running along with this theme, what better time than now for a mini-revamp of Bars and Chords?! Over the past year or so, this site has mainly focused on highlighting music artists currently enrolled at Columbia University. From upcoming shows in NYC, to new EPs, and other publicity, it’s been all about CU. But with new readership from states everywhere, we think it’s about time to heed to requests and include emerging artists from other cities/universities.

Here’s where YOU come in. Whether you’re a college student at a university, or a recent grad who loves to discover new music, you can be involved as a writer for Bars and Chords. Write album reviews for artists on your campus, update readers on upcoming shows in your city, or simply share some underground music that you’ve been listening to, and believe others should hear as well. It’s a great way to stay on top of your music, plus you get to improve writing skills. If you’re interested in hearing more about this opportunity, please email barsandchords@gmail.com.

And for all the readers out there who just want to keep reading, keep checking in on the site! It’s about time we all discover some real music. Enjoy the summer!
