The program will feature conversation, film clips and live music inspired by the work of this organization to celebrate the power of story and music. Panelists include Mary Judd, Darden Smith, filmmaker Jon Siskel, and Staff Sgt. Rob Spohr, featuring a musical performance by singer/songwriters Smith and Mary Gauthier.
Smith, who is founder and creative director of SongwritingWith:Soldiers, along with Executive Director Judd, have been dedicated to improving the lives of soldiers since 2012 by pairing veterans, active-duty service members and military families with professional songwriters in retreat settings to craft songs about military experiences and the transition home.
