Sa•lon:
The gathering with others and breaking the chains of isolation that keep us in our head; they lead us out in to the heart of the human community. They need people willing to appreciate the interdependent connections between creative thinking, interpersonal sharing and mutual action-support networks. It serves its purpose magnificently if it succeeds in inspiring people to use their minds and hearts at their maximum capacity and come to appreciate the personalities and contributions or others even it they differ from their own. Ideas and the heart to put them into practice-requires more than rational calculation if they are to flourish. True conversation occurs when we feel at ease expressing our ideas and sentiments, while remaining free to modify them based on what we learn from others sharing our space and experience. Winning the debate is not the purpose of good conversation. Winning back out ability to talk with one another (as opposed to talking 'at' one another) is the ultimate and most precious goal of a salon. It is in such environments that great ideas are born... and where people find the energy to have a positive influence on the world. The salon gathering not only satisfies our need for collective effervescence, but also our need to live our individual lives with the certainty that we are visible to others and supported by them. |

We have based our SongSalon™ on the words above. It is a group of professional writers, musicians and producers as well as some extraordinary 'up and comers'. Occasional celebs drop in to share some of their touring and studio experiences with the goal in mind being to gather knowledge, advance our careers and excel in our craft.
The SongSalon™ is also open to instrumentalists, vocalist, lyricists, arrangers, radio DJ's and virtually anyone who can share professional insights on the music industry. Each SongSalon™ will have a different focus - ie. melody, arranging, publishing, performance, etc., with a related high level working or charted professional in attendance sharing their expertise and offering feedback.
If you're interested in joining us, send and email to [email protected] including a short description of yourself, professional background, etc., as well as your primary focus on attending.
