Who I Recommend:

SongU.com I credit SongU for so much of my songwriting education. It features self-paced lessons, hit-writer mentoring, feedback sessions and pitching opportunies. SongU.com is a must for the serious songwriter who want to take their songwriting skills to the next level.

NSAI.com There is no other organization that does more for songwriters in the way of lobbying Washington on songwriter issues and informing both songwriters and the public about important issues that effect the songwriting climate.

NashvilleDemoStudio.com If I need to have a competitive, great sounding demo these guys are who I turn to. Not only is NDS an awesome studio but also an incredible resource for songwriters including workshops, pitching opportunies and mentoring.

Gary Earl Productions Gary Earl holds a Kennedy Center Songwriters Award, has a Grammy-nomination, and has produced music plays on Disney, Radio, HBO, Ellen, NBC, Pokemon and so much more. His production company does songwriting demos (he's also the only producer in Nashville producing LA-quality tracks), TV/Film recordings and also offers vocal coaching from 15-year professional Robin Earl.

Sierra Guitars These are warm, well-made guitars that are a blast to play. They are also quite affordable when compared to some of the bigger name brands. I have an SDS43 and I love it.
