Episode 576 - Hillside Girls & Guitars Songwriting Course 2021

Folk Roots Radio... with Jan Hall

We’re giving over the whole of Episode 576 of Folk Roots Radio to the 2021 Hillside Festival Girls & Guitars Songwriting Course. We are joined by facilitators: Marie Zimmerman, Executive Director of the Hillside Festival and Guelph based singer-songwriter Doris Folkens and three of their students: Halley McKeown, Missy Bauman and Tania Joy who also share their songs with us. Girls & Guitars is a longstanding feature of Hillside Inside and part of an on-going project designed to address gender imbalance in the music industry and thus further Hillside's mission of encouraging inclusion and equality. The songwriting course is a very special part of that initiative. If you like the artists you hear on this show, don’t just stream their music – BUY their music and then you’ll really make a difference to their income during this difficult time when it’s much more challenging to find live shows. Folk Roots Radio is a labour of love - a full time hobby.
