Passim's School of Music is celebrating the incredible work of beloved local musician and Grammy Award-winning songwriter Lori McKenna this fall with a new class taught by acclaimed teacher and performer Janet Feld. The Songs of Lori McKenna will guide students through standard and open tunings, strumming, and finger picking with notable songs like “People Get Old” and “Humble and Kind.” From her home base in Boston, Lori has carved out an enviable niche for herself as one of Nashville's most in-demand songwriters. A complete list of fall courses and registration can be found at passim.org/school-of-music.
McKenna has built a remarkable career, penning hits for artists including Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, and Faith Hill. She won back-to-back Grammys for Best Country Song: for “Girl Crush,” performed by Little Big Town, and “Humble and Kind,” performed by Tim McGRaw. In 2021, McKenna won her third Best Country Song Grammy for co-writing “Crowded Table,” performed by the Highwomen, with Brandi Carlile and Natalie Hemby.
The Songs of Lori McKenna class runs from 8:00–9:15 p.m. ET on Thursdays, October 28; November 4, 11, and 18; and December 2.
