The workshops was led by award-winning ASCAP songwriter, motivator and facilitator Jason Houser. The event’s two sessions included intensives on the craft of songwriting, the art of co-writing, how to find one’s writing voice, and how to find the right balance between melodies, chord progressions and lyrics.
Now in its 12th year, the workshop is part of an ongoing series designed to focus on the development and education of promising new songwriters.
