Mississippi Records Music & Film Series 20 Year Anniversary Celebration Presents: 

Off The Charts – A Documentary & Song Contest with Live Bands

On Thursday, February 23rd, Mississippi Records will be showing an excellent and touching documentary about the song poem industry called "Off The Charts." Trust us, it's a stunner. After the movie, five bands will interpret song poems written by YOU.

Bands playing are -

  • Roman Norfleet And Be Present Art Group
  • Lavender Flu featuring Lilly
  • LOX
  • The Grand Style Orchestra
  • Cruise Control.

   - Each performing one song poem. A celebrity panel of judges will pick a winner. 

This is Mississippi Records' second Song Poem contest. The winner last time had just been out of prison for a week when he spied our ad for the competition at an unemployment office. While he had never done any creative writing, he decided to give it a go because he could use the prize money. After he won, he proclaimed, "I now know who I am. I am a poet." Hearing these words was perhaps the most moving moment of my life.

 See you on February 23rd!
