Enjoy a REPLAY of New Year, New Wheatsongs, originally broadcast during Wheatland Worldwide 2020 on YouTube.
Wheatsongs is a songwriter program that runs during the Wheatland Music Festival. Wheatsongs continued online as part of Wheatland Worldwide 2020 led by songwriting instructors Jan Krist and Dan Hazlett. The program expanded to a full week and included additional events and sessions. Each participant was challenged to research a character or a story from a book – assigned uniquely to them – to follow that trail where ever the research or the muse took them to “get the song”.
The online program featured teaching segments, discussions and sharing session of songwriting process, group performances and one-on-one sessions with Dan and Jan and each participant.
