Songwriting with Artist-in-Residence C.R. Avery - “BIG MOMMA MELODY & HER SON LYRIC’S BORN”

  • 5678 Alta Lake Road Whistler, BC V0N 1B5 Canada (map)

We’ll be starting with the craft of unsung lyrics and how they differ from the written word that sleeps on the page. Then we’ll dive into the gentle dance of taking these skeleton ideas of words and finding there high wire melodies & crossroad chords that have been patiently waiting for an eternity at the train station of song. Bam!

About C.R. Avery:

In any other case, it would take a team of people to do C. R. Avery’s career or even conceptualize his 17-album catalogue, let alone gain his beautifully twisted, wonderfully dirtied world view. From what dimension he pulls his ideas, we’ll never know. He’s a regular guest of writers festivals, sexy poetry slams, badass burlesque dances, punk piano bars, and if there ever was, is, or would be such a thing as a rap opera festival, he’d surely be the guest of honour with his six rap operas which have been staged from LA to New York.

Want even more of this? There’s another day!
