Beth Nielsen Chapman To Cap Nashville Recording Workshop + Expo
AES Nashville has announced the capstone session of the Nashville Recording Workshop + Expo 2012 will feature internationally acclaimed singer/songwriter/recording artist Beth Nielsen Chapman. Chapman’s session will follow the creative process from start to finish on a select track from her 2007 release, Prism. Where the first NRW+E Progression Of a Project session (with keynote speaker, Keb Mo’ and his engineer, John Schirmer) will focus on the development of a tune entirely within a personal production space, Chapman’s session will begin from a similar starting point then follow the project through tracking, mixing and mastering, illuminating the production elements added at each stage by a number of professional participants including tracking engineer Trina Shoemaker and mix engineer David Leonard.
Chapman’s decade-spanning career includes not only her own body of work as a solo artist, but also a huge body of songwriting credits including tunes for artists such as Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, Bette Midler, Elton John, Neil Diamond, Trisha Yearwood, Martina McBride, The Indigo Girls, Michael McDonald, Amy Grant, Keb Mo’, Roberta Flack, Waylon Jennings, Faith Hill (including “This Kiss,” which was a Grammy nominee, won ASCAP’s 1999 Song Of The Year) and Willie Nelson. Chapman was the recipient of the Nashville NAMMY award for Songwriter of the Year in 1999. Additionally, her work has been featured in numerous network television productions and in major motion pictures. The Prism 2-CD set, to be featured at NRW+E, was a ten-year labor of love that resulted in a two-disc collection of songs in 9 languages each focused on a path to faith. Beth also teaches workshops internationally on songwriting and creativity and serves on the Honorary Board of Healthy Child Healthy World (healthychild.org). REGISTER TODAY!
