Wanna hang out with your fellow songwriters for a few days? Thanks to our friends at Inspiration Alcona and support from Lost Lake Woods Club, we’re presenting the live, three-day version of our popular Virtual Songwriting Retreat in northern Michigan. Your staff features the seasoned songwriters, performers and producers Jan Krist, Jim Bizer and Annie Capps of super-group Diamonds in the Rust.
We’ll have writing exercises to get your creative juices flowing, stimulating conversations about songwriting, performances, an optional song assignment, and time for song sharing, too! All levels of songwriters are welcome. |
