Our Song Circle

Our song circle is convening for the first time in 2010 on Monday. The level of songwriting keeps getting better all the time. We’ve collected a lot of great tunesmiths who are coming on a regular basis and it's great to have so many perceptive minds in the room to help with advice and suggestions about how to improve a song. It's always great to hear a song in its infancy, and then watch how it is molded and changed in the process of rewriting that most of our members go through on the way to make it better. It’s also great to sit with twenty plus other people who all have the same love of music and writing. It’s like a support group for people with the same addiction (to words and music). This is one addiction I don’t think I’ll ever kick so it’s nice to be around others who understand that.

Hi Rob. I read about the song writers circle, on your blog and in the Vue article. Sounds interesting,however somewhat intimidating. What would you suggest for a complete novice, in terms of songwriting courses or workshops in Edmonton?

Besides having well-crafted and intelligent lyrics, the songs are melodic, memorable and haunting in their sounds.

Solid singer-songwriter fare from one of music’s craftsmen. Warm, welcoming, comfortable, familiar even, seldom brash or edgy, plenty going on and a few wow moments that make your heart stop in wonder. – Maverick Magazine (UK)
