This is an all new series of four sessions with a different established songwriter guest at each one. We will hear their perspective on the industry, the craft of songwriting and how they contributed to the vital force that is contemporary song today! There is a story behind every song and a career path that led each of them to success. What was their first big break? How did they make it happen? How do they approach their songwriting? We will play their songs and discover their process.
