HSC Meet Ups were created to provide a nurturing space for all songwriters regardless of skill level and genre; to help each other grow in the art of musical expression and become more skilled in the craft of songwriting and the art of performing; to promote public support and appreciation of songwriters and songwriting in general; and to contribute to Kentucky’s reputation as a center of musical creativity.
Songwriting workshops are taught by leading local and regional professional writers. Meet Ups
Are held the 3rd Saturday of the month from 1-3pm at Cairn Coffee House in Winchester, Kentucky. They run for varying lengths and are offered on different levels for beginning or more advanced writers. Song Critique sessions are conducted regularly presenting members with the opportunity to play their songs and receive constructive criticism from peers and professionals.
