Blair Hit Songwriter Series hosted by Deanna Walker, one of the most popular on-going classes in town, launches another amazing semester TONIGHT is the start, 2012! Major hit songwriters, publishers, producers and industry pros share their music biz wisdom each week. You can still register tonight!

Just announced Craig Wiseman and also Damien Horn will be part of the semester!

Just SOME of the guests this spring will be Gordon Kennedy (Grammy Award-winner, Change the World); Gavin Mikhail (wildly successful independent artist/songwriter); Dave Brainard (cutting-edge amazing producer for Jerrod Nieman and many others); Steven Dale Jones (One More Day, Diamond Rio; He Gets That From Me, Reba); Don Henry (Grammy Award-winner; All Kinds of Kinds, new Miranda Lambert record!); Charles Alexander (outsidetheboxmusic.com); Jeff Cohen (brilliant artist & writer w/zillions of film/TV placements); Sandy Horowitz (publisher, Song Factory); Cliff Audretch (Sr. Director, A&R, Showdog-Universal); Steve Bloch (independent plugger); Robert Filhart (ASCAP writer rep) and many more!!

The cost of the class is $245.00 ($205 plus the $40 registration fee). Blair accepts checks or cash but not credit cards. Contact Trisha Johns (trisha.johns@vanderbilt.edu) to register OR register at the first class!

“Deanna Walker’s classes are very encouraging, nurturing environments for students and aspiring songwriters to hone their craft. Conversations with industry professionals are regular happenings and the relationships that come from participating in these classes have yielded some exciting co-writes as well. Overall, Deanna’s class is a great option for the aspiring songwriter to self-evaluate, grow, and plug into the writing community.”
Rivers Rutherford

“There are a lot of options these days when it comes to songwriting workshops or classes. But there are just a few with the warmth, fun and knowledge that Deanna Walker brings to the classroom. I’ve been a guest speaker several times. I usually arrive to these things a little nervous and anxious. But as soon as I sit down, Deanna’s smile melts away any nervousness. She knows each guest speaker very well, so her questions hit to the core of the guests she invites. I think this charm trickles down on every student that experiences her classes. It’s always a learning experience, for teacher and student. I wish her class would have existed when I first moved to Nashville. I would have been way ahead of the game.”
Don Henry
