Coming up at the Woodshed
SONG SWAP with
ABIGAIL DOWD &
TYRONE COTTON
Tuesday, October 8, 7:30p
Singer/songwriter/guitarist Abigail Dowd joins us from Greensboro, NC. She's a captivating storyteller who weaves hints of Celtic melodies with the soulful gospel of the south to create a sound that dances between folk, rock and blues.
Tyrone Cotton has one of the most singular blues voices. Hailing from Louisville, KY (where Dawn met him and fell in love with his music), Cotton’s debut album, Man Like Me, draws inspiration from influences such as Jerry Garcia, Buddy Guy, and Mississippi John Hurt and is the result of his nearly 30 years of performing. He'll be joined by legendary drummer Ray Rizzo. We are elated to host them both!

Songwriting with Dawn
Do you have a poem or narrative that might make a good song? Maybe just one line that you always thought could be a great lyric? This class is designed to help shape your writing into song form. We’ll discuss song structures and techniques used by some of the greatest songwriters and apply them to your song. While we will use a few writing prompts, you will mostly focus on one piece that you’d like to mold into a song. No musical experience necessary!
