The military makes up a large portion of the underserved arts community in our state. In response to this need, we have initiated a songwriting program for veterans with the assistance from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Songs of Survivors (SOS) Veterans Workshops are designed to provide Veterans the opportunity to learn the craft of songwriting. These free workshops allow participants to tell service-related stories through lyrics and music in a safe, supportive and empowering environment. The workshops are led by the BR Music Studios and David St. Romain of Nashville Star.
The link below to the left will take you to the song, written and sung by Veterans attending one of the workshops and produced by BR Music Studios and David St. Romain. The link below to the right, will take you to a segment aired on local television station WAFB shot by Rick Portier.
