The Songwriting School is grateful for and inspired by the many remarkable Veterans in our community who now find ways to serve with their creative talents—after having served our nation with such valor and selflessness in uniform. Thank you, all.

Woot woot! It’s such a good show you have written, and we are deeply proud of you—and so excited for audiences to enjoy what we have seen you work artfully toward. Congratulations!

How to say this? Without the band Rush, a young boy doesn’t fall in love with the guitar & the way words can challenge him to think & feel deeply. He doesn’t grow up to co-start a School to help songwriters move others. With gratitude, respect, & deep sorrow, #neilpeartRIP

“We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right.” -MLK We give thanks and remember Dr. King’s example of creativity and leadership, words and deeds aligned for lasting, difficult good. #MLK. May we indeed lift every voice and sing.

Grateful to all the women and men of California, New York, and so many places who lead by examples of creativity, selflessness, vision, compassion, and determination in this time of need.

The Songwriting School is deeply saddened at this tough time by the loss of one of the most significant writers in the pantheon of influential songwriters: the great John Prine. What a legacy to leave behind. #johnprine

Bruce Gordon Mojo 🤘🎶 Chrysanthe Tan (they/them) @theraygungirls I used to go to workshops at TheSongwritingSchool in LA where they did just that - listen, gently(!) critique, encourage. Now I just send it to trusted peeps...#diymusicchat

We are so proud to offer this 8wk class with the magnificent Allie Moss and Bess Rogers teaching, and we are honored and grateful to welcome you and your beautiful voice back, @garrisonstarr !

We are saddened by the loss of the great Nanci Griffith. What a treasure her songs have been, and oh how she honored other writers. We were proud to have Pat Alger guest in a country class & recall her sweet, reedy voice saying his name. “A very blue moon” is coming on.

On this Thanksgiving weekend, and we suspect for ages to come, we give thanks and pay our respect for the life and enduring work of Stephen Sondheim.

Proud of our own Mary Lou Fulton for this powerful defense of democracy and inclusiveness. Thank you Americana Highways for shouting her out and amplifying this hopeful message.

For all our lives we have known and loved the songlike inflection and narrative-rich game calling of the great Vin Scully. We will miss the words and music he brought to the game of baseball for the rest of the way. RIP #vin

“If You Could Read My Mind” will long play in the pantheon of great songs, but I remember riding with my father, ‘Don Quixote’ on his 8-track, “Ode to Big Blue” making its way around on long drives: a song about a whale a kid’s first meeting with the master. #RIPGordonLightfoot
