Join Music for Seniors for this FREE songwriting workshop sponsored by the Tennessee Art Commission and hosted by the Knoxville Museum of Art!
Everyone has a story to tell, and our gifted songwriter, Bill Cabage, facilitates a fun and interactive songwriting workshop. As they learn the basic elements of a good song, participants contribute ideas and creativity to write one together. By the end of the workshop, their song has been crafted both lyrically and musically, and the group performs it together, led by the teaching artist.
The Knoxville Museum of Art is happy to partner with Music for Seniors on this program. Check back for our fall concert collaboration on August 27th!
Music for Seniors connects area musicians with older adults through live and interactive music programs designed to engage, entertain and educate seniors – promoting health and wellbeing, reducing isolation and enriching the lives of all participants.
Workshop attendees should plan to arrive early and visit the Wayne White: Revenge of the Knoxville Girl exhibition. Wayne White created giant, large-than-life-size puppets based on the very old Murder Ballad The Knoxville Girl, famously recorded by the Louvin Brothers in the 1950s but dating back to traditional English and Irish murder ballads of the 1800s. In White’s version, the Knoxville Girl takes revenge on the lover who did her wrong, and the puppets dance and play the fiddle.
