Was asked if I could do a workshop in Vancouver in March. Came up with this.
THE GREAT CANADIAN MUSIC SURVIVAL WORKSHOP
Songwriting accidents, film-score sorcery, video-making on a budget, touring across 9,000 km of bewildered geography, and the fine art of staying human while the industry melts around you.
Featuring live music and the kind of advice I wish someone had told me in 1982.
1. Opening: Improvisation as a Life Skill
2. Songwriting Section: “The Song Behind the Song”
3. Music Business Reality Check
5. Music for Screens, Videos, and Touring Canada Without Losing Fingers
6. Artistic Survival: “How Not to Lose Your Mind”
7. The Performance
8. Q&A + Closing
