The Desert Sessions

Our 4-day songwriting retreat will bring together some of the Northern Territory’s best songwriters with the aim of opening collaborative opportunities for local artists and mentors.

Held at Ooraminna, just outside of Alice Springs, from September 7th to 10th, 2020.

“One of the biggest roadblocks for songwriters is finding the time and space to really allow creativity to bloom. The Desert Sessions provide this distraction-free environment in a stunning, inspiring location, whilst facilitating new connections and learning new industry skills. It’s exciting to have so many talented songwriters heading to one location, writing new material and sharing ideas.” Dave Crowe - Alice Springs songwriter/producer and program facilitator.

The chosen songwriters are VJ Bumanlag, Darcy Davis, David Garnham, Xavia, Rachel Rachel, Adam Scriven and Casii Williams who will join local songwriter producer Dave Crowe (aka Resin Moon) along with industry mentors.

The diverse group includes award-winning musicians, some have performed at festivals all over Australia, and others have scored millions of Spotify streams globally. Presented by MusicNT, Tourism NT, Sing Hum and Gaga Music Publishing.
