Songfarmer: A Songwriting Workshop in Austin, TX
Tweet
Posted: March 5th, 2014. 
0 Comments.
On the weekend of May 30-June 1, Gordy Quist and Owen Temple will launch Songfarmer, a songwriting retreat on Lake Travis in the beautiful hill country around Austin, Texas.
The creative retreat will be limited to 10-12 folks who are interested in exploring the craft/process/art of songwriting in a collaborative group setting. Through small group discussion, some one-on-one mentorship, and some co-writing sessions, Gordy and Owen will focus on training the mind to always be songfarming/treasure hunting, and hope to build a community of new friends that will stay in touch and continue collaborating.
The hope is that this relaxing, yet intensive weekend at a beautiful lakeside, hill country getaway, will renew your inspiration and commitment to the cultivation of better songs.

Thanks to my buddy Gordy Quist for the encouragement at the Austin Marathon last month- he had a banana and a mimosa for me at mile 13.  Turns out that's what runners crave: carbs and vodka.

"Temple’s songs are sophisticated and enlightening, offering a view of the Texas west that’s akin to Dave Alvin’s meditations on mid-century California. He writes with a folksinger’s eye, observing intimate, interior details of every day life, and painting big, mythological sketches..."
Hyperbolium
"Owen Temple takes on the job of Texas troubadour with grave intent. Where his previous disc explored the darker side of the American dream, Mountain Home focuses on small Texas towns and the eccentrics inhabiting them... One has to admire Temple's focus on his craft, which he continues to burnish in smart and tuneful ways."
Austin Chronicle
"A chronicler of America's darker side, Temple's sixth studio album focuses on down-at-heel hustlers, broken farmers, corrupt politicians and general bad eggs. Behind him a crack band, including sometime Bob Dylan sideman Charlie Sexton, play a laid-back country groove as wide open as a cattle range and dusty as an unswept porch."
