Sydney Song Critique Workshops


Songsalive! holds workshops where songwriters gather to share their songs, gain feedback and develop relationships within the songwriting communities we have created around the world. The first half is solely dedicated to an in-the-round workshop where writers present one song each - either on tape, CD or live - followed by a guest speaker/industry discussion in the second half and plenty of time to talk and network. Moderated by Stephen Kiely.

ELEANOR BAKER

Sydney Team member

I have been involved in music practice for over 20 years. Although a  classically trained musician having studied the flute at the Canberra School of Music I have enjoyed both playing and writing music in many styles. I played in an original rock band during the 90s and more recently have played in various classical and cabaret groups. I am currently playing the keyboards in a Sydney based tribute band and I teach the flute. I am very excited to be joining the Songsalive team to work towards developing and promoting songwriters in Sydney.

 

 

 

RITA BRATOVICH

Sydney Team member

I have been a Songsalive member for almost ten years - virtually a founding member. I have a BA in music and a PhD in imagination. My song portfolio is steadily building and I'm currently collaborating with another Songsalive member as a lyricist. There aren't any gold records or contracts yet but it's in the stars. My time is coming.

Kristy has been instrumental in the formation of our Nashville Chapter, and currently resides in Sydney, Australia, assisting with our CdBaby online gallery and other online support.

Kristy's sound has been described as a 'sweet ethereal vocal style which wraps around her distinct bluesy/pop/folk sound', with influences from Elvis...yes Elvis, Jewel and a touch of honesty. Her EP has topped the charts with her song 'I'm not that Girl' hitting number 1 on the Worldwide Independent Radio Network. After touring around the good ole United States
of America again last year, Kristy has collected a number of co-written songs from L.A., Nashville and Bermuda. She co-wrote with the likes of Deric Ruttan, Jake Mathews, Margaret Findley, Aaron Brotherton, Megan Light and the beautiful ones from Bermuda. Look out for her - she has a voice you do not want to miss!!
