Abbe May To Mentor Emerging Female Songwriters At Tas Retreat

Perth singer Abbe May has signed on to mentor four female artists at Tasmanian songwriting and mentorship retreat Keep One Eye On The Stranger this July.

The Bruny Island four-date program will take place at Adventure Bay Retreat though a series of intensive workshops with May in an effort to nurture and provide guidance for promising upcoming Tasmanian artists.

After the retreat, the artists will then be able to showcase their new works at Voicebox, a part of the Festival of Voices program which will also host May and her Badass Choir.

"I feel lucky to be invited to assist in encouraging, showcasing and nurturing female talent and providing a platform for career growth,” May said.

“I know it will be an awesome experience to run the workshop retreat and spend time with Tasmania’s emerging female talent on Bruny Island" 

Eligible Tasmanian singer-songwriters have until Thursday 19 May to fill out an application for the all-expenses-paid retreat before May hand picks the four artists to be include in the exciting venture.
