Hello Songwriters and Singer-Songwriters,
Are you stuck? Most songwriters get to a moderate level of ability and then simply stop. It's too hard. They can't get heard. Publishers reject them and they eventually lose heart.
My name is David Harper. I'm a professional songwriter and producer in Nashville, Tennessee. I came out here in the summer of 2008 with not much more than a dream and a couple of cats. Today I am a staff writer, an A&R man and owner of Dave's Cave, a Nashville weekend getaway studio where writers from all over the world come to write and record.
It's been a wild, wild ride. I want to share it with you if you want to learn. Read the articles posted here and join with me on my musical journey in Nashville. My job at ADN requires a huge output of regular creative writing. I'm archiving these little gems here so you can learn and grow. If you're new to songwriting or just getting back into things, this will be an especially handy site to bookmark and visit regularly. We'll use the Dave's Cave II Facebook page for blogging and staying in touch with each other.
