The Midwestern Holiday Songwriters

The Mid-Western Songwriters, Jeana Potthoff and Richard Roman, have been writing songs since 2010. They have written over 70 songs but have never even met each other. She lives in Nebraska and he lives in Ohio. They email and call on the phone, but have never Facetimed or Skyped.

“In fact some day when we win the Oscar, my thank you speech starts with “This is the first time Jeana and I have every met in person,” said Roman.

There hope is that their holiday songs are discovered so they can be a gift unwrapped during the holiday season. The four holiday songs they currently have released are “Keeping The Lights On For You,” “No One Knew,” and “Memories Come Back to Me.”

Neither one of them sing and Roman jokes that people pay him not to sing. So they received permission from the Bluebird Café to have someone sing their songs for them. Besides their holiday Songs, Jeana and Richard write songs to touch hearts with powerful messages.
