The Yellow Pine Songwriters workshop, held at 6:00 pm on Thursday August 1, 2024, will be led by Gordon Hamilton from The River Twice. Gordon is a performer and amateur songwriter and is a board member and past President of the Idaho Songwriters Association. He has written dozens of songs including a few that he’s proud of. He has attended songwriting camps in Utah and California and organized workshops in Idaho. This two-hour workshop will touch on basic song forms, hooks, and melody. We will do some object writing and we’ll map out a song. It’s going to be a fun and creative way to kick off this year’s festival.
