Songwriting Workshop with Mary Bragg
Part of the 6th Annual
WOLFE ISLAND GARDEN PARTY
a celebration of Culture and Agriculture
June 8 – 18, 2023
Happening during the Saturday Market at Wolfe Island Commons
Free Admission
Heralded by Rolling Stone and NPR for her “gorgeously crafted and executed songs,” Mary Bragg joins us on Wolfe Island for a songwriters’ workshop on Saturday, June 10, following her Friday evening performance.
Discussing melodic construction, lyrical storytelling, and developing your own relationship with your work, Mary loves to be in conversation about songs. The Nashville-based singer-songwriter earned her Master of Arts in Songwriting and Production from the Berklee College of Music, and is an adjunct professor at BerkleeNYC, teaching The Craft of Songwriting.
With dozens of songs cut by folk and Americana artists, she’s also produced albums for Grace Pettis, Helena Hallberg, Jackson Emmer, and Natalie Price, among others, in addition to her own recent self-titled effort.
Praised by the World Café for her “refined, sumptuously melancholy take on Southern storytelling,” Bragg’s been exploring love and its complications for much of her career now, wrestling with longing, desire, heartbreak, and insecurity across a string of widely lauded albums. NPR dubbed her breakout 2017 release, Lucky Strike, one of the year’s best, while her 2019 follow-up, Violets as Camouflage, earned similar raves, with the Nashville Scene calling it “magnificent” and Rolling Stone hailing its mix of “classic country twang and “gentle chamber-pop.” Bragg toured the records extensively, playing headline and festival dates to ever-growing audiences across the US and Europe.
