Description

Iconic among songwriters and music leaders, Louisa Branscomb is world-renowned as a songwriter, performer, and advocate for the transcending power of songs to change the lives of the writer, and the larger community. Combining a lifetime of songwriting and performing with a career in the psychology of creativity, Louisa presents a unique and deep understanding of how creativity and songwriting relate to the personal and artist journey that some have called “genius.” Lyric Mountain, the rural home of her retreat for artists and artist workshops extends the vision of Woodsong Farm (est 1987) to an emphasis on the artistic core within all of us, that enables us to live art-worthy lives in many forms of creating snd communicating. This concept informs her model of “From the Inside Art” – capturing the artists’ cycles of going to the clearest truth within, and taking it in some form back to the community.
Staff includes seasoned professionals in songwriting, singing, arrangement, preproduction, poetry, and special panels integrating other art forms as well. Louisa directs programs on the ground and by zoom from Lyric Mountain Retreat.
