2-Day Songwriting Retreats
Three co-writing sessions with hit writers in a jam-packed weekend experience of collaboration and fun!
SongTown Songwriting Retreats: Where real-world training meets real-world opportunity.
We've line up top hitmakers to co-write with you and level-up your songwriting. Kick-off each day with inspirational sessions from music industry pros to fire up your writing!
How It Works
At SongTown’s Songwriting Retreats:
• Write with 3 top pros over 3 sessions.
• Take home worktapes for each song written.
• Play your music for a major publisher.
• Gain insight into the business of songwriting and make valuable industry contacts with top songwriters and publishers.
• Enjoy an evening online listening hangout where you get the chance to ask questions and hear all the day’s songs. (Warning: This is a really powerful experience hearing all the great songs!)
Join us June 8 & 9!
The Summer 2024 Songwriting Retreat will be virtual in our private Zoom Writing Rooms!
Limited Spots!
Additional Details For The 2-Day Songwriting Retreats
- We start each day with an industry discussion to inspire you to write your best songs—just like Clay and Marty do when they sit down with their publishers before a co-writing session. This will focus your co-writes and net better songs!
- After the morning meeting, you'll break off into small groups for your co-write with a hit pro songwriter and another ST member.
- Then, after a lunch break, you'll meet again for your second co-writing assignment!
- On one of the retreat days, you'll participate in a "Play for Publisher" meeting with a top publisher and play your songs!

- $2199 Early Bird sign-up by May 24th, 2024 (Regular price-$2499)

What Past Retreat Attendees Are Saying:
"This was my first retreat and I thought it was great. I’ve read comments about it and how people come back year over and year and I couldn’t understand why – but now I do! Watching and working with a pro is such a valuable experience. You can read about co-writing, watch the videos on SongTown about it and even practice with other songwriters – but to see a pro in action – it reinforces and somehow clarifies it all."
Songwriter - Becki Fleischer
"It was an exceptional experience. It was my first songwriting retreat and it was amazing. My preference would have been to meet in person, but the virtual meeting was a wonderful experience as well. It was exactly what we all needed in Nashville. It was a true blessing, and a moment I will never forget. I appreciated that it was over the weekend, as that helped me to stay focused. I wrote with Clay, Danny, Matt, and Marty, and I loved all the songs we created. I would highly recommend this retreat and the virtual experience to anyone that cannot make the trip to Nashville. I was impressed it went off without a hitch the first time around."
Songwriter - CJ Stevens
"GREAT experience. Thanks to all my lovely co-writers and all the other future co-writers I got to meet from the retreat. Y’all are a wonderfully supportive group and all the songs that came out of this were fantastic💛"
Songwriter/Artist - Lauren Spring
"What an amazing weekend. Among the best ST Songwriting Retreats I’ve attended for sure."
Songwriter- Ave Topel
"Put this down as one of the top memories/ experiences I’ve ever had. I’m so glad I did this. I learned so much about writing styles and what kinds of ideas are more likely to get cut… so many other things, too. The process online was smooth."
Songwriter - Jen Jardine
