Dulcie Taylor won the New Times Music Award for Best Songwriter 2014. She took home the same award last year, 2013. Here is a picture of the two “Newties” as they are called, side-by-side.

When renowned Broadway composer Stephen Schwartz (his shows include Godspell, Pippin, and Wicked) was interviewed on The Atrium Stage at the Kennedy Center by Michael Kerker of ASCAP, he entertained and thrilled the sold-out crowd with his stories and his songs.

Dulcie performed as part of the Songwriters' Association of Washington Showcase. Ohter performers included Margot MacDonald, Christylez Bacon, Sol Roots. See Dulcie's performance (forward to 32:00) on the Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center in DC here.
