A Songwriting Journey
A presentation and conversation with Leisah Woldoff
Tuesday, Nov. 19 | 10-11:30 a.m.
Leisah Woldoff, East Valley JCC director of communications, will discuss her new book, “52 Weeks in 2021: A Songwriting Journey,” as well as provide a look at how technology has affected the music industry and songwriting through the years.
“52 Weeks in 2021: A Songwriting Journey” explores Leisah’s songwriting journey in a blog format, sharing 52 songs over 52 weeks during the year she turned 52. The project was partly a distraction – as the author was approaching the age her mom died from pancreatic cancer – and partly a way to get her songs out into the world. Each chapter represents a different week in 2021 and features an original song. Many of the songs are relevant to that particular week, whether it be a holiday or a significant world event. Topics include the COVID-19 pandemic, relationships, motherhood and billionaires traveling into space. The book includes lyrics and access to the song recordings. Her book is available on Amazon here.
