The Spinlight Letter

New Port Richey, FL

Chip Winans • Frankie Frangipane • Chris Regan • Sean Crowe • Eric

In December of 2005 the guys met at a local party and formed "The Spinlight Letter". There was immediate success playing local venues and parties. The guys started writing their own music and soon released their first Self Titled CD. It didn't take long for The Spinlight Letter to become a recognizable Indie-Rock Band. Today the band is playing larger more recognizable venues with many national touring acts such as; The Ataris, Socratic, Self Against City and Rookie Of The Year.

The 2008 Young Guns Nationwide Online TEEN Battle of the Bands is a project of the Catawba College Music Business Students Association.

Catawba is one of only a very few four-year colleges or universities to offer a complete curriculum for performers and songwriters of popular music. The difference is making Catawba a top choice for a growing number of talented performers and songwriters of popular music from across the country.

And we do mean talented. Take recent Catawba graduate Dennis Reed, who beat out nearly 1300 other college songwriters from across the country to win the BMI/John Lennon Songwriting Scholarship. Proving Dennis' success was no fluke, Catawba junior Derek Daisey brought home second place in the 2007 Lennon competition.

You can hear some of the music Catawba's students and recent graduates are making by clicking on the Catawba Jukebox at the very top of this page.

Popular music at Catawba is paired with a vigorous music business curriculum. How vigorous? You did notice we're hosting a nationwide battle of the bands and songwriting contest for teen musicians that's sponsored by some leading organizations in the music industry, didn't you? And that's just one example.
