The Song's Truth with Rik Emmett

The Song's Truth: Balancing Intuition, Technique, and the Evolution of Your Craft

Legendary musician, songwriter, and storyteller Rik Emmett (Triumph) joins Songfarm for an exclusive virtual talk on the art and discipline of songwriting.

Every songwriter wrestles with the balance between instinct and execution—between raw creative impulse and the meticulous craft of refining a song into something that truly resonates. But in today’s digital landscape, has songwriting lost something in the process? Have endless production tools and tweaking replaced the fundamental ability to craft a song that speaks for itself?

Through candid insights, personal anecdotes, and deep songwriting wisdom, Rik will challenge you to elevate your work, embrace both inspiration and rigor, and rethink the role of production in your songwriting process.
