Folk Music Writing Workshops with Pierre Sabourin
An Edmonton-born singer-songwriter, Pierre Sabourin is a folk artist, guitarist, and wordsmith. A subtle man with a resilient pen and a sensitive heart, he blends words and melody with a soft and catchy voice. His songs and lyrics, comparable to paintings that allow nature and emotion to breathe, act like old memories that bring the past back to life and awaken the present.
Writing and Songwriting Workshops
In parallel with his performances, Pierre Sabourin can offer writing and songwriting workshops upon request, tailored to the specific needs of clients and schools. It is also possible to organize these workshops in regional areas in conjunction with a scheduled performance. Rates for these workshops are flexible and can be discussed based on the context and scale of the event.
