Trish Ferrell Wileman, vocal/performance coach, and Butch Ross, singer-songwriter, are bringing back The Art of the Singer-Songwriter class. This popular class, which features local speakers such as storyteller Jim Pfitzer and singer-songwriters Amber Fults, Ryan Oyer, Anthony Quails and others, is scheduled for this spring at Mountain Arts Community Center. The class opens with a concert by former students Mike Crowder, Joylene Green, Derick Anderson, Howard Tillison, John Harr, Eric Jordan, Wilson Von Kessler, Lee Shuff and others.

In this class, emerging singer-songwriters are guided by Butch and Trish in the areas of songwriting, vocal technique, mic skills, and performance skills. The class culminates in a coffee house concert, highlighting each student and his or her original work. This unique class offers a safe place to work together with other singer-songwriters to build confidence, find inspiration, and build lasting friendships.

“I have been songwriting for a couple of years and wanting to play more. I came to the class because I felt it was the right time to put more energy into the art and craft of songwriting and performing,” says Joylene Green, a recent graduate of the class. “The class showed me that I want to be performing more, and I am willing to put the work in to feel good about the process. I gained some really solid ideas about how to take a song in a beginning rough format and really polish it, edit it, and finish it out so it is ready to be performed. I used to have this idea that you are born with natural talent or not, which I found discouraging. But this class showed me that a lot can be accomplished with practice and instruction and editing. Since the class, I have continued working on my vocal confidence with Trish and continued songwriting. I played at the Backstage Bar and Casual Pint with another songwriter because of a connection I made in the class, performed for the holiday show of River City Sessions because of the credibility I gained from taking the class, and was asked to perform in a songwriters-in-the-round event at the Creative Arts Guild in Dalton, where I performed new songs I’ve written since the class that were very well received. I also played at Puckett’s and The Spot. I am on my way to being a singer songwriter who gets to play and perform regularly for pay!”

The class takes place at the Mountain Arts Community Center, 809 Kentucky Ave., on Signal Mountain. Classes begin with an off-site concert on Tuesday, March 6, (location information given upon registration), and all classes thereafter take place each Tuesday from March 12 to April 9 from 6:30-8:30 p.m.

Tuition discounts are available if registration is paid in full before March 1. Accompanying instruments are helpful, but not required. Ages 16 and up are urged to sign up. Space is limited.

Award-winning bluegrass gospel band The Farm Hands Quartet will perform on Sunday, November 8 at 6:30 p.m. at Community Baptist Church. The concert is open to the community.

The Farm Hands, based out of Nashville, consists of industry veterans Tim Graves, Daryl Mosley, Keith Tew and Bennie Boling.  Among the four members are a Grammy Award winner, a member of the Preservation Hall of Greats, two Song of the Year award winners, 10-time Dobro Player of the Year winner and two long-time veterans of the Grand Ole Opry stage.

"These guys are awesome!," raved Bill Lewis, pastor at a church where they recently performed. "I don't know when I've laughed so much or had so much fun. It has been the best concert we have ever had."


There will be no admission charge, but a love offering will be taken. CDs and DVDs will be available for purchase.
