“Songwriting: How to break yourself off of the bar”
Harry Moore | 1 - 2:15 pm
Join FisherPoet and songwriter Harry Moore for a songwriting workshop focused on tools and approaches to break yourself off the bar when you’re hard aground and floundering. Bring a song you are stuck on and come prepared to share your insights with your fellow songwriters in small groups. Harry will share insights into how he protects his personal “prop” (i.e. confidence, creative side, or self-image) when he runs aground in the songwriting process.
