A SongShare Focus Retreat

Beyond the Song

June 2–5, 2027

Chattanooga, Tennessee area · Facilitated by Jess

Write the song. Know what comes next.

Beyond the Song is a small, application-based retreat for songwriters who are confident in their creative abilities but want to better understand the business behind the music they create. We'll explore publishing, song registration, royalties, networking, pitching etiquette, and the practical knowledge songwriters need to navigate the music industry. Alongside these conversations, we'll collaborate in writing sessions to put creativity and practical knowledge to work together.

Who It’s For

We're looking for creatively proficient songwriters who are already comfortable writing and collaborating. This retreat is not designed to teach the creative songwriting process. Our learning will focus on the business of songwriting.
