Introducing... Songbirds Write to Rock!
#SongbirdsFoundation #WriteToRock #Songwriting
Can you believe these kids actually WROTE these songs?!
This is what happens when you give a group of elementary students access to pro song writers, producers, and performers! Write to Rock is a brand new program from Songbirds piloted at East Side Elementary here in Chattanooga. We gave students 10 after-school sessions with all the tools they need to write their very own hits. Then, we showcased their work with a full band in front of their friends and family. Be warned-It's a tear jerker!
Write to Rock was made possible by our sponsors, The Tennessee Arts Commission and Arts Build.
Huge thanks to all the East Side faculty who embraced this project and made it their own: Erica Colen, Cora Fisher, Greg Wilkey, and Catherine Casselman-thanks for the name, Catherine!
Write to Rock could not have happened without our host and resident songwriter, Amber Carrington Lewis. She and her crew made music come to life for these students.

He put a NAIL in his fretboard!? Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's John McEuen - Vault Sessions
Very interesting talk. Very interesting guy.
What's the provenance of this guitar? I've never seen a picture of Duane playing it - ever. Call me skeptical. Not taking anything away from Jack. He's a superb player, and possibly the most overlooked past member of the Allman Brothers.
Just remember that Tommy Emmanuel can out shred the shredders if he wants to. Thankfully, he prefers to play music.
I understand your approach, my grandmother played piano and she could hear any tune and play it by ear. I aspire to be like her 🎉
Long overdue signature for an amazing musician. Man deserves it for sure.
Norman may think he can’t sing a good song anymore but the way he set in on “Farewell Francisco Madero” after several years with only a few preliminary notes while he found his place and then rendered a very, very nice performance in vocals and picking. He’s amazing and as others have said he’s a treasure.
I got know Norman and Nancy in the early 1980s. They would stop at my house in Albuquerque on their way to Telluride or somewhere west. They would stay for a week sometimes, with James Bryan. I would work on their fiddles, and then they bought a couple from me. Norman would walk around the house playing his mandolin all day long, one tune after another. It was a lot of fun getting to know him and Nancy, and then his friend Peter Ostroushko, who played one of my mandolins for years. Norman was a funny old guy, even when he was young! But I believe nowadays he is not given the credit he deserves. He and his band helped to bring back old time music
The nylon bridge saddles are interesting. Gibson introduced them later than the guitar's 1961 vintage. I think when Dickey had the tremolo removed, the bridge was also replaced. Doesn't matter - just intriguing.
Always inspiring!
I saw him this week live and he just blew everyone away with his performance, his storytelling, his humor, and his love for the music. Adore this man! Go see him live!! 🎙️🔥💖💖
well done!
❤ I love to see children light up about music and learning!
Awesome!!
You know you're one of the greatest when Billy Strings gives you a shoutout
Charlie is definitely a great choice to play Duane’s guitar .He is a humble guitar playing dude
Great dad !!! Great grandpa!!! Proud of all three of you.🎵🎶🎶🎵
That Tele is the most beautiful guitar
Didn't know who he was... Here from Billy Strings... You get the feeling that he can do ANYTHING with that guitar
One of the all time best covers.
Brilliant songwriter and killer player!! Absolutely love his style story telling!!
I think God of all the different bands that came about. I love the almond bed span the best.
Oodles of noodles! Very cool.
Guy is just amazing .. he ranks right up there with Hendrix .. just amazing.
More please
What an astonishing sounding guitar!
marcus king pulling from the grand wazoo. love it.
Charlie you turning the guitar on she needed it
Of all his guitars I think Rob likes the Tele the most. I base that on the three times I've seen him at a local, small venue and that's the guitar he played each time. I know its not a good sampling but hey ..... I'm sure he loves those Les Pauls and still has disdain for Strats.
Charlie once said that he loved Eddie Van Halen but couldn’t play like Eddie. With all due respect, Eddie could never play like Charlie. Eddie had the brown sound. But Charlie has that sweet southern sound that transcends rock and goes from rock and roll, to country, and even gospel music. Charlie didn’t influence me when I started playing guitar some 50 years ago. As a lover of Les Paul Jr’s he sure is now.
I'm a washed up 40yr old virgin who plays 1 a month. And Heather bar really inspires me
The best banjo player not named Bela
that pickguard its not original to that year..sorry
Fantastic guitar man !!!
Black people say white people stole rock and roll. Well who stole using an electroc guitar? Just shows its all nonsense race war crap
Are we going to have the 2024 talent show video or nah? Asking as a performer at said talent show. Tryna not come off as rude, but y'know, I'm still growing. If it IS coming, I'm pumped to show it off to my friends! Take care!
All killer No filler for cousin Kenny..
I still love Norman's voice, he's aging with style and grace. There's much admiration and he's such an inspiration to soo many. Love you !! Norman
Very cool
Good pickin Steve 🍻
You forgot to mention the first electric guitar. The Slignerland Songester.
All I can say is “Thank You” 😍 The next best thing to seeing and hearing Don Rich….
I recently acquired a 2008 Memphis made Gibson ES 345 stereo custom in three tones sunburst. I am 54 years old and I’ve never been this excited about a guitar. Everybody has something to say. I love mine. That’s all. Peace out, Homies. What an awesome video
Amazing guitar player
Jack Pearson brought me here
I wonder why he couldn't use a super 400 with LA Express?? Throw some 11s on that bad boy turn the bass down on your amp and you can do pretty much anything on a good 'super 4'...
This is one dude that would honor me by letting me buy him a couple beers, or whatever it would take, and let me listen to him play and tell stories.
Awesome
that ghost at the end was spooky
everytime I see/here Hannah I am flashed ...
Robben’s tone is amazing through his famous Dumble ODS however, to me his tone is incredible through a vintage blackface Super Reverb.
