Please join me for this special forum. Three exceptional artists join me for an evening of music and discussion about songwriting; their process, their inspiration and other aspects of their craft. Read on here, to learn about the artists.

Celia Woodsmith is a GRAMMY Nominated performer, vocalist, percussionist, and songwriter. With a style that can be described as "one of a kind: gritty, muscular, folksy and intimate, sometimes all at once" (Bluegrass Situation) she has been a fixture of the New England Roots Music scene since 2005.
For the last 12 years, Woodsmith has predominantly performed with the Americana string band, Della Mae. In 2014 Della Mae was nominated for a Best Bluegrass Album GRAMMY for their record "This World Oft Can Be". Their 2020 album "Headlight" has been described as "...powerful writing, soaring vocals, and moving musical unity — challenge us, energize us, and touch us as they light the way.
The all-female Della Mae has performed in 20 countries with the US Department of State's cultural diplomacy program "American Music Abroad".
In 2016 Woodsmith took a hiatus from touring to write, listen, and reflect about her years on the road. During that time she bicycled 2,000 miles from Geneva, Switzerland to Vlorë, Albania. Post hiatus, she released her solo record "Cast Iron Shoes". The all original album combines raw, roots-rock with heart-searing songs like "Sicily" which paint a solemn picture of the global refugee crisis. When not on the road with Della Mae, Woodsmith performs with roots-rock band Say Darling and has released two albums of original music with them.
You might not find a straight-out love song in Susan Levine's music, but you will find honest songs about the complexity of relationships, the challenges and joys of motherhood, and the search for grace in the smallest moments. Susan's voice has garnered comparisons to Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton, and her songwriting has been praised for its honesty and poetry. A finalist in the Kerrville New Folk Competition, the Rocky Mountain Folks Fest and the International Songwriting Competition, Susan also performs as one half of Americana duo, The Lied To's, with Doug Kwartler.
Liz Frame was weened on the music of her parents’ generation, absorbing the influence of their heartland heroes — immortal and iconic artists like Jimmie Rogers, The Weavers, B.B. King and Elvis Presley, to name but a few. It became deeply rooted in her musical psyche, so much so that she began writing her own music at the tender age of nine, and after picking up her first guitar at fourteen, it found her performing in front of audiences while still in her early teens. Not surprisingly, her music of choice was honest, unbridled Americana, a sound that continues to represent the disparate styles that captured her imagination so early on.
