Exciting News! Payton Riley to Launch Inaugural Young Artist Songwriter Ranch Retreat
Payton Riley, honored as the TCMA Young Artist of the Year, is excited to announce the launch of its first-ever Young Artist Songwriter Ranch Retreat, designed for aspiring musicians aged 12-18. This retreat, in partnership with the Texas Country Music Association, will immerse young artists in the music industry through valuable insights and hands-on experiences.
Scheduled for October 11-13, 2024, the retreat will explore a variety of essential topics including brand development, viral social media strategies, legal considerations for songwriters, recording release timelines, the collaborative roles of major music tastemakers, and the creation of one-sheets and EPKs for securing bookings. Participants will also engage in a songwriting workshop led by renowned songwriter Scott Sean White, where they can co-write songs with peers and mentors, including Payton Riley, Ryder Grimes, Hadlie Jo, and more special guests to be announced.
On the final day of the retreat, young artists will have the opportunity to perform the two songs they wrote for their families. Additionally, three standout artists will be selected to perform at the Love Heals Youth Concert for Love event at The Table at Madeley on November 3rd. All participants will also be invited to join a song swap event on November 17th at DeepRoots Vineyards in Plantersville, TX, creating a wealth of opportunities for artistic growth.
“I’m incredibly excited about this retreat!” says Payton Riley. “I reflected on all the music-related topics I wish I had known when I began my journey. I made sure to include industry leaders who can offer invaluable insights. Songwriting is what sets us apart as artists, and I’m thrilled to have Scott Sean White leading the songwriting workshop. This is an incredible opportunity for these young talents.”
To keep the cost of attendance at $150 for each artist, we are actively seeking sponsors. This support will help cover meals for attendees and accommodations for our music industry speakers, ensuring that we can offer this enriching experience at minimal cost to attendees.
Investing in the next generation of talent within the Texas Country Music scene is essential, and we invite businesses to become sponsors. Your partnership will not only support young artists but also promote your brand, helping to create the best possible retreat experience.
