Tue, Jul 31st, 7pm (doors 6), Workshop: Songwriting: Exploring the Vision, Art, and Craft with John Pippus


If you want to WRITE songs, or write BETTER songs, or write DIFFERENTLY from your ’same old’ approach to songwriting, or if you are just CURIOUS to find out what songwriting is all about - this workshop is for YOU!


Together we will explore how to tease out ideas - both musically and lyrically - and how to play with these ideas, combining a “let it flow” approach with strategies for critical assessment, revision, and just getting the damn thing done! As well, tips for successful co-writing will be explored. For beginners to pro’s. Genres: Folk, blues, pop, country, and rock.
