BELLOWS FALLS-Taylor Abrahamse and Sage Christie will lead a casual, limited-space, LGBTQ-friendly workshop-performance-Q&A for young songwriters (and the songwriter-curious) on Sunday, Sept. 8, from 2 to 4 p.m. before their concert at Stage 33 Live.
Based in Ontario, Canada, Taylor Abrahamse "defies the borders of song, gender, and genre," write organizers in a news release. Abrahamse is a Kerrville New Folk Winner, FAI & NERFA official performer, finalist on Canadian Idol and the Mariposa Emerging Artist Showcase, co-founder of Toronto recording studio Silverthorn, and co-writer with platinum-selling songwriters Liz Rodrigues (Eminem, Celine Dion), Jeff Franzel (Nsync, Rhys Lewis, Josh Groban), and Pam Sheyne (Christina Aguilera).
Abrahamse also writes and performs music for movies, television, and branded web projects, notably the feature film About Fate starring Emma Roberts.
In addition to the music career, Abrahamse is a professional voice actor with decades of experience and hundreds of appearances, and can be heard in leading roles on Disney XD, Cartoon Network, Discovery Kids/Teletoon, Universal Kids, Nickelodeon, and PBS.
Christie is a two-time finalist in the Kerrville New Folk songwriting competition, with awards from the Great River Folk Festival, Portland's Folk Fest, and the Walnut Valley Festival.
This workshop opportunity is limited to 10 participants ages 11–18 in all stages of interest and accomplishment, and is sponsored by Bellows Falls Pride. Participation is free, but registration is required, email [email protected].
