In the interest of continued expansion of my songwriting experience, I went to the Colorado Christian Songwriter's Group today. The group is hosted by friend, Pete Buchwald. Pete and I went to CU Denver together and have kept in touch through some random projects and connections.
Todays group was made up of about 5 or people. Generally there is some kind of presentation/teaching and then people have the opportunity to share songs. After sharing songs there is a time for feedback, suggestions and commentary. Reminded me of sharing assignments in song writing class.
I shared a song called, Abide, that I have recently written with Jenna. It is really close to being complete and hope to post it hear soon. There was some good feedback and I appreciated what the group had to say. One lyric was called into question but I am unsure whether I will leave it or not.
The other people shared some songs too. It was great to see and diversity of writing styles and then listen to the process that the other writers had gone through in order to find and discover their song.
I liked the group and found is super helpful inspiring to have an activity that keeps my latest hobby/endeavor as an active part of my weekend. Looking forward to more Songwriter's Club
