YOUTH SINGER-SONGWRITER COLLECTIVE #4 Youth Host: Alex Boyer Lyrics Coach/Mentor: George Seaman Sponsored by Donley’s Music of Canton www.donleysmusic.com September 17th 7:00-9:00 pm. Alpharetta ******* Every month, The Ranch opens its barn doors to young artist vocalists, guitar or piano players ages 15–21 for an inspiring session of original music, collaboration, and community. Giving emerging artists a supportive space to share their stories and song ideas, develop their craft, gain public performance confidence, hear feedback on their work, and connect with and learn from fellow youth musicians who are just as passionate about songwriting. The series is hosted by Alex Boyer, a creative 16 year-old artist from Cumming, Georgia who eats and sleeps with his many guitars. This is not just another open mic. It is an event about growth, education and collaboration. Each session will be attended by an educator or other professional who will offer insights on lyric writing, song structure and performance skills, and also provide constructive feedback on individual performances. As an English teacher with 30+ years of classroom experience, George Seaman has analyzed, studied, and taught the intracacies of lyrical expression and how the union of ideas and content with structure and rhythm can help produce the perfect poem or song. George’s knowledge of composition and writing theory serves to remind him that the creative process, while elusive, is best executed when the artist values the role of revising and editing in bringing out the best a song has to offer. He considers himself to be a student of the singer-songwriter tradition, always looking for the next lesson to be learned in the songs of John Prine, Hayes Carll or Lucinda Williams (just to name a few!). His first studio album, Smile Back at the World, is scheduled to be released in September 2026. Attendance is limited to 7 youth artists to ensure equal attention on each participant. $30 participation fee. Each artist will receive a .wav file of their performance,
recorded on an analog Neve console. Registration: https://pci.jotform.com/form/260953482237058 Rhythm Ranch - Where Real Music Rides© www.rhythmranchrecording.com
