The workshop will cap our Guy Clark Festival: three days of music, film screening, and creative writing: The fee includes a seat in-house at the Saturday workshop + online pass to the live streamed concert on Thursday.  

Tamara Saviano's engine runs on the transformational power of stories. The multi-award-winning author of Without Getting Killed or Caught: The Life and Music of Guy Clark, memoirist and music industry maven,  will lead a full-day writing workshop on biography and memoir for a small group (limit 20) at Blue Rock.  The normal fee would be $300 - however, several generous supporters of the Blue Rock Foundation have provided scholarships to the entire group of participants, so we are glad to extend a 50% discount to 20 fortunate writers. 

Tamara Saviano is an author, filmmaker, and Grammy and Americana Award winning producer. Saviano's memoir, "The Most Beautiful Girl: A True Story of a Dad, a Daughter and the Healing Power of Music" was named one of the best books of 2014 by the Chicago Book Review. Saviano's biography on legendary songwriter Guy Clark, "Without Getting Killed or Caught: The Life and Music of Guy Clark," won the Belmont Award for the best writing on country music in 2016. Her documentary about Clark, also titled "Without Getting Killed or Caught," is the winner of SXSW’s 2021 Louis Black Lonestar Award and the 2021 Rockport Film Festival’s Audience Award. 

Saviano's music productions include "Beautiful Dreamer: The Songs of Stephen Foster" (awarded a Grammy in 2004), "The Pilgrim: A Celebration of Kris Kristofferson," "Looking Into You: A Tribute to Jackson Browne,"
