For the third year, Red Ants Pants Music Festival has partnered with Brian Kassay to facilitate a kids songwriting workshop (pre-registration required). This fun, community-oriented activity is focused on providing kids ages 5 to 18 with tools to write and perform original poetry and music. Throughout the weekend, participants will learn the craft of songwriting and music composition and enjoy a creative space to explore the magic of melody and lyricism.
Hosted by Brian Kassay, your favorite fiddle player from Laney Lou and the Bird Dogs, participants will collaborate with local and touring musicians who will help shape the music and bring each kid’s song to life. The two-day workshop culminates with songwriters having the opportunity to perform their finished piece on the festival Side Stage alongside a professional musician. Come join us in celebrating the talent and hard work of our young local songwriters!
Space is limited–pre-registration and guardian attendance are required. We kindly ask that parents only enroll kids who are enthusiastic about songwriting and are willing to commit to participating in the workshop.
