Christian Songwriters Conference

August 30 - September 2, 2010

Join Brandon Heath, Charlie Peacock, Brenton Brown, Vicky Beeching, and Mia Fieldes of Hillsong United, (keep checking back for more artists to be confirmed!) and many other world-renowned songwriters and instructors for this completely unique, intimate retreat among the majestic California redwoods in the heart of the Santa Cruz mountains.  Experience fellowship, instruction, and times of deep refreshing worship with artists and songwriters who are shaping the contour of Christian music.  Plus, have your songs evaluated by professionals and share your work with fellow attendees. In addition to our featured artists we will also have music and workshops taught by nationally recognized songwriters Joy Williams, Rick Cua, and Jason Ingram.
 
The Christian Songwriters Conference is for all songwriters interested in honing their craft in a creative, constructive, and inspiring setting.  In addition to times of corporate worship and instruction, the conference offers two major workshop tracks: the Art of Songwriting and the Business of Songwriting.  Attendees will have the opportunity to attend either track throughout the day along with plenary sessions in the mornings and evenings featuring worship, artist performances, and reflections on songwriting from our distinguished group of artists and songwriters.

In addition, you will have the chance to submit up to two songs for review by our review panel of songwriting and industry professionals. Cash and prizes will be given to the top 3 songs by our sponsors and presented at the conference.

Rates and registration to be posted in the coming weeks!  Space is limited so register early for the best rate housing options.
 
The Art of Songwriting will be taught by our world-class faculty of experienced songwriters who have written worship standards.
 
The Business of Songwriting will be taught by a faculty of leading industry professionals including music publishers, A & R representatives, and booking agencies that have real world experience and advice to share.
