WHAT IS SONGS FROM THE HOLLOW?

Songs From The Hollow is the brain child of entertainment industry couple Leslie Fram and Lanny West in an effort to give songwriters of all levels the opportunity to work one on one in a stress free environment with internationally renowned and accomplished songwriters to grow and excel in their craft. This amazing two and a half day retreat is designed to help songwriters of all levels grow technically, experientially and spiritually by creating an environment of networking, teaching, mentoring, collaboration, performance and mindful creation.

WHERE DOES IT TAKE PLACE?

The retreat takes place on the Cumberland Plateau on 40 acres of North Tennessee’s most beautiful countryside just 45 minutes north of Nashville and gives the participants the opportunity to escape the high pace energy of the city and decompress in the midst of God’s amazing creation…… HUMBLE HOLLOW FARM!

HOW MANY WRITERS WILL BE ATTENDING?

Only 9 writer slots are available. Why? This gives our guest song writer and mentor team a better opportunity for one on one teaching, collaboration, instruction and guidance.

WHAT IS THE COST?

$850.00 per Person (Cash, Check or Credit Card): Includes all food, snacks, non-alcoholic beverages and activities. Transportation and off property Housing not included.

WHERE ARE WE SLEEPING?

Main House: VIP and/or Guest Writer(s). We have one guest suite and one guest room available.

Guest House: 3 bedrooms and 1 1/2 bath are available in the guest house plus we could do a blowup mattress or cots/sleeping bags as well. This would be by assignment.

Camping: For the adventurous we have 4 large 14 x 16 side wall tents in our camping area. These tents are errected on platforms and have flooring, beds and cots. We can sleep a total of 10-16 people. OR participants may choose to pitch there own tents. You must supply your own sleeping bag. There is a shower and composting toilet on site but participants may use the facilitites and showers in either house.

Hotel: While we would love for everyone to stay on site there is one good hotel in Portland as an alternative. So that the attendee does not have to come out of pocket we would pull hotel cost out of their registration.

SureStay Plus by Best Western (Portland, TN)
Deerfield Inn (Portland, TN)
Holiday Inn Express & Suites (Franklin, KY)

Commute: Some attendees may want to sleep in their own bed at home and choose to commute. If there are multiple folks doing this maybe we suggest car pooling. The only down side to this is driving at night on the back roads to head back to Nashville. In addition this may diminish the chance for true networking and bonding so we should encourage all staying on site.

WHAT ABOUT FOOD AND BEVERAGES?

We will provide all food, snacks and non-alcoholic beverages.

WHAT IF I HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES?

After you register we will send you a questionnaire that will give you the opportunity to share with us any food allergies. Our on site Chef will be able to accommodate most food issues and allergies.
