Come join the musicians of We Are the Willows, a 6-piece orchestral rock band out of Minneapolis, to discuss the creation of their album PICTURE (PORTRAIT), based off of 350 letters sent between lead singer/songwriter Peter Miller’s grandparents during World War II. Their correspondence inspired Peter to explore themes of family, separation, life, death, and identity in a time of national and personal crisis. The songs communicate complex ideas delivered with pop-sensible charm. This workshop is free! Participants will explore their own family histories and discuss processes, develop creative habits and practices, and explore songwriting and storytelling together.
