Songwriters Salon in Sedona – 1/22/09

Songwriters Salon in Sedona (Arizona) — And it’s FREE!

Our good friend, and a terrific supporter of musicians and songwriters for many years, *Anita Rosenfield, has graciously invited John Braheny (author of the best-selling “The Craft and Business of Songwriting” book), to speak and critique songs (chosen at random) at her home in Sedona, Arizona, on Thursday afternoon, January 22, 2009, from 4:00-7:00pm. It’s free, very casual … and we hope to see you there!

To RSVP, and for address and directions, leave a message at  (818) 528-5152 — or email:  arosenfield@esedona.net.

Bring a CD and lyric sheets, but know that opportunities to have a song critiqued will be limited by time.
Private consultations ($125 hr.) will be available. To schedule: email: john@johnbraheny.com.

*Personal note:

John knew Anita (“Teeta”) from his folk-singing days, back in Minneapolis, (the University district was called Dinkytown). She managed/booked the folk club where John — and others performed — including Jeff Espina and Koerner, Ray & Glover and Judy Larson … and anybody else who was on the scene, including Bob Dylan, circa early ’60s. Below is a photo of us reuniting with Teeta … in the 1980’s, on Venice Beach, California.

This is one of our all-time favorite events … and it’s FREE!

200+ songwriters attend classes … with many of your favorite guest speakers!

(Yes! John Braheny, author of the best-selling book, The Craft and Business of Songwriting, will teach a class, and critique your song – bring a lyric sheet with your CD!)

Plus … John always stays an extra day for songwriters to schedule a private consultation while we’re visiting there. Sign up here: john@johnbraheny.com.  [Hurry, some slots are already filled.]

Everyone always enjoys hanging out, talking about, listening to, or playing his/her favorite songs for each other. It’s a great way to find a new co-writer too, or learn how to get your songs out to the world.
