As the program director of the Banff International Songwriters Residency, Kevin Welch has worked hard to provide an in-depth excursion into songwriting.

The Banff International Songwriter Residency offers one-on-one sessions and group workshops with faculty, performance opportunities, and recording sessions in a state-of-the-art recording facility.

A personal studio space to work from is provided and available 24 hours a day. Production spaces are shared among all participants in the residency.

Surrounded by Banff’s majestic mountain landscape, this 20-day residency (March 2-21, 2020) provides songwriters an opportunity to explore their artistic practice alongside award-winning faculty. The Banff International Songwriter Residency delves deeply into the entire process of songwriting through various methodologies.

Open to applicants worldwide regardless of genre, this residency is a call for songwriters who have an established professional practice, be it in pop, folk, country, soul, or hip-hop. Artists should have produced an independent body of work and received recognition through public presentation in performance or recordings, as well as from their peers.   The application deadline is November 13, 2019.
