Donna & Louisa Branscomb to present Co-Writing Workshop at IBMA Conference
Louisa Branscomb is a "household word" in bluegrass and acoustic music, and credited with bringing a "whole generation of young women" into bluegrass via her classic composition, "Steel Rails," as recorded by Alison Krauss. A few honors garnered by Steel Rails are recordings on two Grammies (Krauss, and John Denver), SPBGMA song of the year in 1991, and the distinction of the longest running chart hit in Bluegrass Music. 2009-2010 saw her song "Don't Turn Your Back," the title track recorded by Dale Ann Bradley on Compass records, hold a place on bluegrass charts for nearly a year, and win a fans' choice CMA video award as well.

In this workshop Donna Ulisse and Louisa Branscomb will use interactive discussion and group participation to identify the typical fears that arise in co-writing, explore ways to demystify the process and set the stage for fun and productive co-writing relationships. Join us in a lively discussion with musical examples and a good chance of a little stand-up comedy along the way!
