Focused on indie music and a self-empowered music career. Moderated by GILLI MOON, Artist/songwriter, CEO of label, Warrior Girl Music(http://www.warriorgirlmusic.com/), and President of Songsalive!(http://www.songsalive.org/) - the morning hosts a selection of high level music industry representatives from the music capitals of the world and locally in Colorado talking about key topics to drive your music career forward.

Afternoon - Songsalive! Songcamp

This Songsalive! Songcamp is for any budding or professional songwriter, in any music genre, who wishes to hone their songwriting skills, and co-write with other songwriters, creating great songs. This is an impactful, educational and result driven session that includes writing a song with songwriters you've never met. Result: brand new, fabulous songs / new songwriting relationships / learning the art of positive cooperation and co-writing.

Gilli Moon will place pre-registered songwriters (you must be signed up for the weekend's Festival) in small writing teams whereby the writers are asked to come up with a song in only a few hours. They are under the guidance of mentors throughout this process. That evening they will perform their newly written song to the music industry representatives and the general public.
