Songsalive! holds workshops where songwriters gather to share their songs, gain feedback and develop relationships within the songwriting communities we have created around the world. The first half is solely dedicated to an in-the-round workshop where writers present one song each - either on tape, CD or live - followed by a guest speaker/industry discussion in the second half and plenty of time to talk and network.

i LOVE valentines day cuz for me it's V-DAY - VENUS DAY -- and i get to express my love to all my wonderful friends who love my music. it's a lovefest. it's a v-fest. it's a fest-fest. since i love writing songs and singing them, you complete the circle, without being able to share, then i would be misssing out on one of the biggest and best parts of creating - sharing the creation. it's like if you made this great thanksgiving day dinner, where you poured your heart and soul into it, and then you had no one to share it with. here's the circle as i see it in this moment: from love comes creation which is shared with love and received with love, and the love is returned and from love comes creation.
