Songfarmer

I went to my second Songfarmer in November 2015, and it just keeps getting better! I saw a lot of the same people from the previous one and also met new musicians, which brought some impromptu collaborations that went really well. Owen and Gordy continue to have a great structure to their teachings and continue to introduce new concepts. Check out the app! I will for sure be going back. Maybe this spring?

I attended the Songfarmer workshop in November, 2015 just west of Austin, in a really beautiful rural setting. I think what Owen & Gordy have going with Songfarmer is a great thing, in that it can help songwriters who are at many different levels. Instead of the kind of scene where a professional songwriter just talks about what they do to write great songs, Songfarmer is a philosophy that gives you tools and puts you to work, in a fun, creative way, to make sure that you keep writing and up your output. The weekend was a huge creative kick in the pants for me, in that I have been writing more and better songs since attending, and my new habits have enabled me to be prepared for opportunities that have come my way. I met some great folks and expanded my musical horizons in many different ways. If you are serious about writing better songs and more songs, this is an excellent experience. The size is perfect, and the setting is really gorgeous, with good food and inspiring surroundings. The only bummer of the whole weekend was a super cold front that arrived in the middle of the night, but I don’t think Owen & Gordy could do much about that. Go, you won’t regret it.
