Susan Gibson

Hey y’all~ Susan Gibson here~ back in 1998, I got struck by lightning  and a song that I wrote in my early 20s got recorded and released and  sold millions of albums. But I don’t consider that the main thing  qualifies me as a songwriter. It’s also the dozens of other small, quiet  songs that hit folks one at a time. And the songs that never make it  out of my writing room. I love the process. And sometimes I hate the  process. I hope you can Join us for an engaging 3-4 hour songwriting  workshop designed for aspiring songwriters of all levels. We will begin  with a brief introduction to the fundamentals of songwriting, including  essential elements such as melody, lyrics, and song structure. We’ll  engage in collaborative exercises aimed at sparking creativity, such as  brainstorming sessions and group lyrical challenges. And we will  continually remind each other that songwriting is a process, not an  event. Whether you're looking to refine your skills or explore new  techniques, this workshop promises to unleash your musical potential.

Bernie Nelson
