SUMMARY:The Writers' Room: Songwriting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Writers’ Room \nJoin award-winning Ontario folk singer-songwriter Missy Bauman for an interactive songwriting workshop focused on maximizing the emotional impact of your lyrics. Open to all experience levels\, this session focuses on the foundations of great songwriting: emotion and craft. We will dive into lyric writing – through songwriting analysis\, guided writing exercises\, and supportive group discussion. Along the way\, you’ll connect with fellow songwriters and leave with practical tools\, techniques\, and creative strategies you can continue using at home. Whether you’re new to writing lyrics or returning to it\, this workshop is designed to help you nurture your inner songwriter. No instrument required. \nAbout Missy Bauman: \nDescribed by Rampt Magazine as “…an exploration of the ethereal”\, Missy Bauman creates folk music with fangs. \nThough accompanied often by an acoustic guitar\, Bauman’s music is more “anti-folk” than traditional – with lyrics that may catch you off-guard with intensity\, vulnerability\, the occasional blush-worthy remark\, and deeply personal truths. What keeps Missy’s music “folk” is the value she places on the simplicity of good songwriting – bravery\, an acoustic guitar\, and honest storytelling. \nOriginally hailing from Brantford\, Ontario\, Bauman was discovered by a local festival director at a highschool coffee house\, who described her as “…a true artist\, fiercely committed to her writing\, singing\, and playing”. As if accidentally\, she entered the music scene at 17\, sharing stages with Emmy-Lou Harris\, Gord Downie\, and Feist. After winning two Hamilton Music Awards\, she abandoned her bachelor degree dreams\, and left to study music in Toronto. \nFans of Hannah Georgas\, Dan Mangan\, and Big Theif will find a new favourite artist in Bauman\, making space for uncomfortable feminism in the singer-songwriter genre\, with decided gentleness and vulnerability. “Two Sisters”\, which appears on her sophomore album ‘Sweet’ (2020)\, won a Songs from the Heart award presented by Folk Music Ontario\, was a Folk Category finalist in the International John Lennon Songwriting Competition\, and received a nomination for the Slaight Emerging Artist Award from the Canadian Songwriter Hall of Fame. \nIdeal for ages 18+

SUMMARY:The Writers' Room: Songwriting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Writers’ Room \nJoin award-winning Ontario folk singer-songwriter Missy Bauman for an interactive songwriting workshop focused on maximizing the emotional impact of your lyrics. Open to all experience levels\, this session focuses on the foundations of great songwriting: emotion and craft. We will dive into lyric writing – through songwriting analysis\, guided writing exercises\, and supportive group discussion. Along the way\, you’ll connect with fellow songwriters and leave with practical tools\, techniques\, and creative strategies you can continue using at home. Whether you’re new to writing lyrics or returning to it\, this workshop is designed to help you nurture your inner songwriter. No instrument required. \nAbout Missy Bauman: \nDescribed by Rampt Magazine as “…an exploration of the ethereal”\, Missy Bauman creates folk music with fangs. \nThough accompanied often by an acoustic guitar\, Bauman’s music is more “anti-folk” than traditional – with lyrics that may catch you off-guard with intensity\, vulnerability\, the occasional blush-worthy remark\, and deeply personal truths. What keeps Missy’s music “folk” is the value she places on the simplicity of good songwriting – bravery\, an acoustic guitar\, and honest storytelling. \nOriginally hailing from Brantford\, Ontario\, Bauman was discovered by a local festival director at a highschool coffee house\, who described her as “…a true artist\, fiercely committed to her writing\, singing\, and playing”. As if accidentally\, she entered the music scene at 17\, sharing stages with Emmy-Lou Harris\, Gord Downie\, and Feist.
