Rodney Crowell, winner of two Grammys and the author of 15 No. 1 country hits, will host a songwriting camp this summer in the idyllic setting of Carmel, California.
The camp — Rodney Crowell’s Adventures In Song — runs from July 16-20. Guest instructors include Joe Henry, Lisa Loeb, Allen Shamblin, Don Peake, and Brennen Leigh. There will also be appearances by Bernie Taupin, long-time collaborator of Elton John, and Benmont Tench, keyboardist for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The camp is being presented by American Songwriter and Dreamcatcher Events.
As a camp preview, Crowell talked with American Songwriter about his experience co-writing with the acclaimed poet and memoirist Mary Karr. Watch the video below (and watch more camp preview videos here.)
