What a terrific program!
Soldiers and Songs' mission is to embrace American Veterans upon their return home providing free music lessons and to share music with every veteran and active military to play an instrument.
Soldier Songs and Voices has been hosting Monday night guitar and songwriting classes at Cheatham Street Warehouse in San Marcos, Texas since summer of 2011. Musician and songwriter Dustin Welch leads the sessions with the help of other musicians volunteering their time teaching. The group recently added a Sunday Afternoon session at Saxon Pub in Austin, Texas. Solider Songs ad Voices hosts sessions across the country and new ones are in the works for Houston, Texas and La Grange, Texas. (According to CultureMap Austin)
