Gerry Goffin & Carole King : A Legacy of Music and Empowering Artists


Twenty Songwriters preserve the Legacy, Thanks to Louise Goffin, at a 2019 Retreat at Thistletop Inn, in Goodlettsville, Tennessee.
     



                                                 





Louise Goffin is on a Mission 
She chose Thistletop Inn for The Goffin & King Foundations Inaugural Retreat in the fall of 2019.  Twenty songwriters from all over the world met; to get hands-on music industry experience and skills with seasoned songwriters. The Artists wrote in several groups all day; and performed their new material in The Spiral Room, at Thistletop, that night. Thistletop bristled with myriad activities. Electricity was in the air.  The team songwriting sessions and live performances were made into a documentary video and studio recordings.

"The Goffin-King writer's retreat was a thrill to shoot! I love capturing artists in the process of creation... candid moments of interaction and expression, and everyone was so generous with access." Photographer Dan Heller
