Songwriting Club

Caffè Lena's Songwriting Club meets every second Saturday from 10am-12pm, giving local songwriters of all ages and experience levels a chance to hone their skills, add tools to their songwriting kit, practice the craft with writing exercises, and discuss tips and concepts with their peers. The club is hosted by Reese Fulmer and Girl Blue (Arielle Woodul), both touring songwriters based in the Capital Region, and organized by the Caffè Lena School of Music Director Matt Griffin. For this special edition of Songwriting Club, Reese and Arielle will be joined by a special guest host, the legendary Grammy-winning songwriter Janis Ian. Through a focused interview session with the hosts, interactive discussion with the club members, and participation in the writing exercises and prompt-based work of the club, Janis will share advice and wisdom from her life and career. 

A limited amount of tickets are available to observe the club and participate in the exercises. Discussion of songwriting craft will be limited to active club members, but attendees are welcome to submit questions in advance to [email protected] for consideration as part of the hosts' interview with Janis. Bring a pen and paper – no phones or recording devices allowed!
