Each day is filled with classes, workshops, group/1:1 tutoring sessions, and open mics each night. The rally is a wonderful environment for songwriters to meet with industry professionals and other songwriters to learn and share ideas.
For me, the rally was equal parts songwriting and music production. I met some of the top industry songwriters, engineers, and producers who shared their knowledge and experiences. I also met many songwriters from around the world who share a common passion for songwriting. It is difficult to describe the feeling of being surrounded by so many passionate and talented artists from around the globe. I took away many practical learning's about songwriting and music production that I can immediately put to use in my own work. I also took away a ton of inspiration and validation that there are a great many dedicated songwriters from around the world who share a common passion.
Each night, there were 2 concurrent open mic venues in large auditoriums filled with hundreds of songwriters and industry professionals. I was able to play the last night at one of them. It was a great experience and I felt honored and humbled to be able to take part in the event. The environment was incredibly supportive. These was my first road rally. For most songwriters I met, this was not their first rally.
As a songwriter, I highly recommend attending the road rally for education and inspiration.
