December 18, 2012

in this series, i ask other songwriters about their quest for inspiration and how they tackle the day-to-day tasks of writing quality, engaging songs. behind every good song is a hard-worker. i want to know how songwriters work and how they fill their well so it never goes dry.

Today we hear from HEIDI FEEK, a country singer/songwriter from Nashville who grew up with music in her ears. Her dad, Rory Feek has been pedalling songs to the country big-timers for 30 years, and Heidi has definitely picked up a few things from her dad.
