Details

Calling all songwriters, from aspiring writers to established pros looking to connect!

Need a hook?

Need some lyrics?

Lacking a coherent lyrical theme in your song?

Stuck on a few chords without any sense of how to write that bridge?

Our inaugural songwriting symposium was so engaging and enlightening (now over a year ago, sadly) that we determined that a songwriting workshop would be a brilliant next step. To that end we are scheduling our first full fledged songwriting workshop IN PERSON.

Participants can bring in a song in any form (ideas, lyrics, chords, fully fleshed out recording) and we will talk, in turn, about the myriad possibilities–and desires of the songwriter whose work is under scrutiny–and help determine how best to move forward and finish that song.

Each person will get 10-15 minutes (depending on our numbers) to present what they have and receive feedback from the rest of the group.

This will all be done in the spirit of inclusiveness, open mindedness, gentle critique (if any necessary) and with the desire to help individual songwriters bring their work to fruition. Please be prepared to participate with whatever you bring to the session - no wallflowers!

This will focus on those who are writing and playing original songs and actively performing them in some manner, with an emphasis on live performance.

Of course, if you are just getting started and interested in learning about the songwriting process from a bunch of self-proclaimed practitioners, then come along anyway.

ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO HAVE FUN AND REVEL IN THE JOY OF SONGWRITING!

BYOB and/or snacks. Feel free to bring something to share or a small donation to help facilitate the event.

We will start at 4:30 and have our happy hour, then get on with the songwriting biz at 5:30 or so.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to RSVP and join the Whatsapp group here - the exact location will be posted via Whatsapp: https://chat.whatsapp.com/HA03slgQWdGAkEyT0V43oa
