Spotlight Fall Class - The Price of Writing a Song: Writing More Dangerous Lyrics

This course will look at the basics of modern songwriting and explore ways to break the rules of composing lyrics that avoid cliches and stand out in unexpected ways, to grab the attention of the listener. Michael R. J. Roth has been called "a cool dark troubadour...not unlike Townes Van Zandt" with songs known for intriguing imagery and "deep, profound truth." He was the 2024 Grand Prize Winner of American Songwriter's lyric contest and was the lyric winner of the USA Songwriting Competition, the NSAI/CMT Song Contest, the Dallas Songwriters Association, the Austin Songwriters Group, the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest, and three-time lyric winner of The Great American Song Contest. His song “Gone Gone Gone” (written with Eric Ramsey) was a Grand Prize Winner (second place) in the 2021 Dallas Songwriters Association Song Contest. Lori McKenna called him "Brilliant."
