90 Seconds or Less - Tips for a Songwriting Trip to Nashville

In this instalment of 90 Seconds or Less, Songwriter Marc-Allen Barnette took a few minutes to answer questions on planning a songwrithing trip to Music City for our 'Building Bridges: To Nashville and Back' workshop.

Over the years, countless songwriters, artists, and musicians have flocked to Music City. Many arrive ill-prepared, not knowing what to do or expect or to target when they are there, and not understanding the importance of building in their own community before and after. This workshop focused on four distinct elements within the music industry: creation of the song, presentation of the song, networking, and business. In each category, Marc showed by doing, diagramming, and explaining the craft of music and the business to help you and your songs stand out.
