After 16 years and 118 issues, the independently published Performing Songwriter magazine ceased publication with the June 2009 issue.

As founder Lydia Hutchinson said, “It has never been just a magazine. It’s the community that formed around it and supported it, and it just wore the clothes of a publication. The community is still there, steadfast and strong; it’s simply time to change clothes.”

So while the next part of the journey is being formed, we’re offering back issues you might have missed—including a few rare ones that have been pulled from our archives.

Please know how much everyone at Performing Songwriter has appreciated your support!
