The original “On Songwriting” Monthly Webinar.
On Songwriting Live Webinar with Gilbert Donovan & Jim “Moose” Brown
Thursday, June 28th @ 7pm CDT
An online songwriting event you won’t want to miss…
We will have two special guests for the evening, artist phenom Gilbert Donovan and his Manager/Alter Ego, Jim “Moose” Brown. Gilbert has been working in the trenches for years trying to get a record label to recognize his extraordinary talent and launch him to stardom. To add to his frustration, fate has had him working with less talented vocal stylists like Willie Nelson and Brad Paisley. You’ll laugh and cry as Gilbert tells his story.
