Gail Marten and Clem Ehoff have been selected by the Philadelphia Songwriters Project for a performance at The Bethlehem MusikFest. Philadelphia Songwriters Project is the creation of Stu Shames and Dena Marchiony. Both performers and songwriters, they understood the travails of getting their work heard by a wider audience. Their vision was a space where songwriters could perform music in a comfortable and engaging atmosphere, where the audience could enjoy an intimate moment with the artist, able to hear lyrics and musical nuance. A place where neither artist nor audience would have to deal with loud talking, smoke filled bars, and noisy distractions.

An unforgettable evening making music at Celebrities Lounge at the Tremont Park Hotel in Baltimore with phenomenal musicians Bob Diener on piano and John Leonard on bass. A warm, responsive and musically aware crowd.
