A Letter from Ellis: NESR 6 is SOLD OUT

​

Hello all!

​

I’m happy to announce that the little gathering of songwriters that I founded back in 2016—The New England Songwriters Retreat—has sold out this year.

 

60 Students and 7 Instructors will gather over Labor Day weekend in Chester CT, and we can’t wait!

 

Interest in attending was higher than ever, so we had to use a lottery process this time. Both Laurie (the Retreat Coordinator) and I are very proud of and grateful for the work that all of the Instructors and the Guest House Retreat Center have done over the years, to make this community so vibrant.

​

We obviously have more events ahead of us—both online and in person. Thank you sincerely to everyone who showed interest in attending this year.

 

If you are interested in attending NESR in the future, complete this questionnaire, and we'll keep you informed:
