Whitsundays Songwriter Festival 2023
SONGWRITER Residency, EMERGING SONGWRITER Workshop & Concert & Conversation Events
It's a wrap. 4 days flew by with these incredible songwriters who formed the faculty for the 2023 festival. Toni Childs, @thetonichilds Mark Sholtez, @marksholtez Vika & Linda, @vikaandlinda Karen Jacobsen, @realkarenj and Francesca de Valence @fdvmusic
Our emerging songwriter workshop presented by I Heart Songwriting Club @iheartsongwritingclub connected local Whitsundays songwriters with our professional faculty and our Concert and Conversation event in Airlie Beach was sold out, giving locals a behind the scenes like no other of the creative process for professional songwriters.
Real connection happened at Yangaro, @yangaro where we were able to write deep and personal songs together; and we wrote 8 deeply personal songs.
An additional and Aussie favourite songwriter Mark Seymour, @markseymourandtheundertow had heard about our event and flew up for a day and night of songwriting with us. This was unexpected and a spectacular experience.
We love bringing major city experiences to the local region in North Queensland, with our mission to develop a next generation of professional songwriters.
Our thanks to Arts Queensland @artsqueensland and Whitsunday Regional Council @whitsundayrc for supporting the Whitsundays Songwriter Festival, Cruise Whitsundays @cruisewhitsundays and to the Whitsundays Arts Festival.
Stay tuned for more.
