Making Songwriter Dreams Come True: It's What Lyric Tree Is All About What are songwriter dreams and how do they come true? For songwriter Dennis Carlan - whose dreams include having songs performed by professional artists and enjoyed by audiences large and small - the answer is Lyric Tree. With the formation of Lyric Tree in 2005 as the primary publisher and promoter of his original songs, Dennis stepped outside the familiar role of songwriter and into that of creative director. Now, with song selection, demo production, and song exploitation as the main priorities, Carlan and Lyric Tree are positioned to make this songwriter's dreams come true.
