Welcome to Desert Song: A Songwriter's Retreat - our springtime session.
For three days we will meet each morning to write and talk about songs and songwriting. In the early afternoon, Charlie Koch will offer a guitar class: Accompaniment for Songwriters. In the evenings we gather again for a song circle and Bring-Your-Own-Dinner gathering. In-between is your time for writing and enjoying the beauty of Moab.
Orientation begins Tuesday evening, May 28, and we say goodbye at our last song circle on Friday evening, May 31.
The Workshop will be held at The Moab Arts & Recreation Center (The MARC) in downtown Moab.
Participants are responsible for their own lodging and meals.
