I’m so thrilled to be part of this extraordinary Songwriter Retreat in Georgia at the end of February. Louisa Branscomb is a powerhouse songwriter with Grammys and a multitude of other awards to her credit. I’ll be presenting on marketing & social media, offering private consultations on songwriting and marketing to attendees, and performing at a special House Concert on Saturday night along side Louisa and Johnny & Jeanette Williams.
Here’s a little more info on the event:
Jeanette, reigning (4 time winner) Traditional Female Vocalist of the Year (SPBGMA) is a multi-winning vocalist as well as member of IBMA Recorded Event winners Daughters of Bluegrass, and has won the prestigious Chris Austin Songwriting Contest in Bluegrass. Johnny, known as award winning guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter, is distinguished as one of the most revered early songwriters in bluegrass to contribute new, fresh songs that capture the integrity of the founding bluegrass sound. Johnny’s name is a household word in bluegrass, considered a master traditional singer, guitar player, and songwriter.
Louisa’s honors include over 140 songs recorded in bluegrass anda acoustic music, SPBGMA Song of the Year, 2 Grammy selections (Krauss, Denver), 2 IBMA Recorded Event of the Years, 2 nominations for the 2011 awards, longest running chart hit in bluegrass (“Steel Rails”), #36 bluegrass song 2011 (“I’ll Take Love”), and selection in the Atlanta Music Hall of Honor, three time nominee for Songwriter of the Year (SPBGMA), and member of the “Daughters of Bluegrass.”
