Songwriting Workshop 2009

Listening to comments from the 2008 Ferriday Song Fest, it was decided to change the focus this year to critique as many songs as possible and use the remaining time to allow each of the panelists to discuss topics of his/her choice.  All performances will be at a Songwriters' Show to be held at the Grand Soleil Hotel in Natchez, MS.  Attendees will have the chance to perform from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m., and then the Pro Show is from 7:00 - 8:00 p.m.

Come join us for the most insightful, comprehensive and enlightening songwriting event in Louisiana.  Five hit writers covering DECADES of experience in the music industry tell it like it was, like it is, and how they got into the game of songwriting and stayed there.
