SAW (Songwriters Association of Washington) Community Day.
Sat 6/20 | activities all day, rob Hinkal at 4pm
SAW will host the first ever Virtual Community Day on Saturday, June 20th. We have a full day of workshops, sing-alongs, song circles, song critiques. Plus recording, singing, and performing demonstrations. Pro advice from industry leaders. With a few celebrities from the LA music scene to boot! All online. There's a LOT going on - not least of which a presentation from rob!
"So – the world has changed dramatically at least TWICE since 2020 began rendering much of my last SAW 'masterclass' about Making Music Your Life at least temporarily obsolete, and Coronavirus and George Floyd have left my previously planned topics for THIS 'Community Day' course feeling quaint if not almost offensively out-of-touch. Though initially I’d planned to drill into specifics of image vs message and how we operate on the continuum between who we are as performers (art) vs how we sell and execute that performance (craft) – I think it may be more appropriate, and useful, to revisit many of the things I’d touched on in 2018 and see how they’ve changed in not just the last two years, but in the past two months. However you personally feel about current events, we need to talk about the realities of how these things have changed our Lives as artists and creators in a very fundamental way. None of us can see the future, but some of this has changed forever.
This will be a practical conversation about booking (from both the artist and the booker’s point of view), audiences, venues, messaging and even how we present a digital show going forward in a virtually (pun-intended) unrecognizable world. Yeah – we talked about all this stuff two years ago – but the world changed. Now what? We’ll go from broad strokes (theory, experience and a bit of philosophy) to the specific (OBS, Zoom, Facebook Producer and more)."
Plus, depending on who's in the room - I'll probably play some music. Come see behind the curtain on what I do with my time. More information and registration here : https://saw.org/event-3863027 |
