In the flow, writer’s block, on a roll, in a rut…the highs and lows of creative living can feel thrilling, and/or tiring.  Fostering and committing to a practice - whether daily, weekly, or seasonally - can offer a solid foundation to weather well the natural waxing and waning of inspiration or spark.  Join Sarah Morris for a conversation around rituals, habits, systems that serve and nourish our creative work.

11:00 a.m - 12:30 p.m: Vance Gilbert: Songwriting through the Eyes of Performance
A great song does not by itself get heard. It needs to be performed so that a producer, publisher, record exec, and most importantly your fans can be part of it’s full impact. It’s a "collision course" Vance offers where performance and songwriting are inextricably intertwined  entities. Here’s your chance to pick up and hone some skills that will make your song and it’s presentation shine. Everything from keeping time, arrangement of the song, what key, "getting the guitar out of the way", the cliché police, posture, vocal stuff, even how to approach the stage and plug in the guitar will be examined one-on-one, on the mic, in a safe and supportive "open mic-ish" atmosphere.

1:00 p.m: Guitar Round Table
Some of us are singers who were forced to learn the guitar. Some of us are guitar players who learned to sing. Then there are those of us who can’t even tap our heads and rub our bellies at the same time. Regardless of your skills, we’ll save you a seat. Let’s share some stories about how we found our way with a guitar, or what amazes us. We want to hear your stories too.

2:00 pm - Songwriting Panel with Fest Artists
The songwriting process seems very mystical. You’ve got questions, and a panel of Fest musicians will make up answers. Where does your inspiration come from.  How do you know when a song is finished.  I’ve got this phrase in my head, is it a chorus or a verse.
