Meet the Songwriter is a new talk/performance series presented by the Hamilton Music Collective – Each month, we’ll hear a few songs from a local songwriter/artist, and allow you to dive into their creative process with an open Q&A. You will leave with inspiring ideas and strategies you can apply to writing your own great songs!

Stick around for our Open Jam for Youth afterwards!

April 29 2023: Lori Yates
If you combined the honesty of Emmylou Harris, the pathos of Leonard Cohen, and the grit of Joan Jett, you’d get Lori Yates. Her artistic practice involves writing/performing/teaching in the alternative roots/vein, of which she is considered a “pioneer of the genre.” Her work has a cinematic, poetic quality conveying an emotional landscape with themes of loss and redemption. She is in her fourth decade of music. She is currently finishing her latest CD tentatively named “Queen of E minor”.
