Residency + Workshops: 7 – 20 November

While in residence for two weeks at C-A-C Sarah will be writing and developing new works for an upcoming release. She will also facilitate workshops with young local female songwriters to share her wealth of knowledge and experience as a songwriter, musician and music industry professional. She will also share insights and experiences about the recording industry; playing in a band vs. playing solo; different models of collaboration; being a female in a male-dominated industry; and a wealth of other knowledge accumulated over a career spanning two decades.
