2023 ARTISTS' RETREAT - a Photo Review
"The Life of a Song, Where do you fit in?" 
March 10-11, 2018, at Northside Baptist Church in Indianapolis​

Picture
Eric Shaw, IGMA Special Events Chair
Eric Shaw put together a super Artists Retreat by gathering an excellent panel that covered many aspects of Songwriting. IGMA has at least seven songwriters within our membership:
  •  Glenn Anthony
  •  Michael Hoyt
  •  Krista Melton
  •  Bob Muncie (over 900 songs written!)
  •  Leigh Murray
  •  Dave Pellegrini, and
  •  Kristen Stanton
These members are resources for all our artists and would love you have you sing their songs!
