(7:00pm - 9:00pm)
Don't miss the Musician/Songwriter Workshop on the last Wednesday of every month at Cooper Hall, hosted by Local 257 member Dave Abdo!
Watch local musicians and songwriters bring in rough demos and see them transformed live as Dave and the house band turn works-in-progress into fully realized songs. It's a unique behind-the-scenes look at the songwriting process—and a great night of music, collaboration, and creativity.
From Dave Abdo, host of the Musician/Songwriter Jam
"This great networking opportunity and creative experience is open to AFM 257 members and non-members. Whether you're new to Nashville or an established Music City veteren, this monthly session is a great hang - and much more! You'll work up new songs as part of a "session band," the way Nashville pros have done it for decades, adding your ideas to make an arrangement that ready to "roll tape" - only we're not taping! Experienced hands get to exercise those creative muscles, new folks can see how it's done, then join in. Great for songwriters, too; hear your latest "write" go from a solo workj tape to a fully-realized arrangement. Even if you don't play or write, but just like to watch as the musical magic is made, come join us! If you want to bring a song to the event, email us at nashvillemsw@gmail.com."
