The 7th Annual NCSC Songwriting Contest held in Carrboro Arts Center on November 6th, 2004, featured eight finalists. Artists were judged on quality of composition, quality of performance and quality of musicianship.

Winner Rick Spreitzer, a Charlotte, NC based singer-songwriter who writes songs that he describes as “tip jar americana,” folk music steeped in common tones that dodge the lyrical middle ground, entered and performed two songs from his latest release Dirt Tracks, Invisible Wind and Porter Wagoner.
