3. Shift the energy of fear into the energy of creative flow
4. Deliver your message with clarity

“Spirit of Kerrville and Kate Wolf Memorial Award recipient, Crow Johnson Evans brings the skills of decades of songwriting, performing, and mentoring to the ranch. Her first of a dozen appearances on Kerrville’s main stage was in 1980. Fifty-six of her songs are recorded either by Crow or other artists, like Mary MacGregor, Michael Johnson, Clare Lynch, and Cary Creed. She believes each person has a valid and unique artist’s voice and she loves helping them come to own it. “
Because being your best means knowing how to best take care of any audience. You’ll learn tips, be shown examples, and we’ll do some exercises so you’ll know how to best prepare for any performance.
Bring a pad and pencil, an instrument, liquid to drink, curiosity, and a sense of humor.
“Whether making good conversation backstage or making music onstage, Crow’s heart, voice, and songs are like a salve for my soul.” Ruthie Foster
