Preston Gunderson, a native from Virginia, Minn., begins his musical performance and songwriters workshop this week with a stop at the International Falls Public Library at noon Aug. 14.
Gunderson will perform and provide input on writing and recording original music, his processes and musical experiences as a singer/songwriter at the event.
The musician was a casting finalist for this year’s season of The Voice on NBC, and was one of only 200 out of more than 500,000 auditions to be flown out to Los Angeles.
He will perform songs from his album “While I Was Gone,” which reached into the top 200 songs on the iTunes pop charts. He is also expected to perform songs from his latest release, “The Recluse–EP,” which was in the top 25 songs on the iTunes singer/songwriter charts.
Gunderson is currently working on a new album that will be recorded at the Terrarium recording studio in Minneapolis. Fans can hear a sample of his music on iTunes.
The Musical Performance & Songwriters workshop is for both teens and adults. Feel free to bring a note pad to jot down songwriting tips as Gunderson shares his personal story of being a songwriter and working in the music business industry.
