Three prolific local songwriters, Billy Krause, Jerrika Mighelle, and Evan Middlesworth will share some of their songs, and discuss the perils and pleasures (but also the nuts and bolts) of songwriting—what comes easy, what comes hard, using examples from their own recent compositions. The event will be moderated by former Wisconsin Poet Laureate, and current Eau Claire Writer-in-Residence Max Garland.
