John Braheny offers songwriters Critiques
& Consultations!
Whether you're an amateur or pro songwriter, John Braheny helps you get
your songs ready for your next project. He consults via email, mail,
phone or in person. His song, "December Dream," recorded by Linda
Rondstadt and Fred Neil (back in the the day), and John's own solo
album, plus years of nationwide live
performances, were merely preludes to his ground-breaking,
talent-development work with the [no longer existing, but still loved] Los Angeles Songwriters Showcase.
One of the most highly respected author/teacher/consultants, Michael
Laskow, TAXI's CEO, calls John the "Obi-Wan Kenobi" of the Songwriting
Universe. Enjoy his articles here on his site, read the new 3rd edition
(2007) of his best-selling book, The
Craft and Business of Songwriting, and schedule a
private consultation. Bring your songs up to a whole new level.
