Prompt Queens

Emily & Hope challenge themselves to write a song hooky enough that a crowd can join in and sing-a-long on first listen and then they enlist a crowd on which to test out the songs. Can you write a sing-a-long?  Try it out, man, and send it in!

Join Emily and Hope in a calming, quiet, relaxing journey into the heart of the prompt: rest. This episode has everything: dulcet tones, the tranquil tinkling of guitar strings, and peaceful banter.  If you have joined us before you know these are lies, except for the part about the prompt. Write your own song about rest and share it with us!

Hope and Emily tackle the 90s grunge of their (relative) youth. Put on your Docs, a baby doll dress, and a flannel shirt and get ready for songs written for Nirvana. And shenanigans.  And write along at home.  Songwriting is fun.

Hope & Emily are back, recording on the scene at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Kerrville, TX.  This week's prompt is to set a timer and write a song in 45 minutes.  Tick-tock, you guys.  Tune in to hear the results AND write along at home!

Hope & Emily take a break.  They'll be back soon!

Last week Hope & Emily welcomed special guests Edie Carey and Sarah Sample to talk shop and play train songs. Hilarity ensued. Today we bring you Trains Part Two where the party continues.  Got a train song?  Send it in!  Don't have a train song? Write one and send it in!

Hope and Emily put a pin in their songs for Nirvana to bring in two very special guests Edie Carey and Sarah Sample.  There is so much WISDOM (and laughing and singing) in the recording that we decided to split it into two episodes.  Got a train song?  Play along at home and send it in!

Hope & Emily write a song for a broadway musical.  This episode is better than Cats.  You'll want to listen to it again and again. As always the Prompt Queens talk about songwriting and the creative process, and invite you to write along at home.

The Prompt Queens experience a dark night of the soul while writing about murder, but still manage to crack each other up.  Hope and Emily talk about the songwriting process, finding your writer's voice, and MURDER.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring you a special episode with teacher, mentor, friend, and writer of SEVEN number one songs Steve Seskin. Steve gave Emily & Hope the prompt I'm Not Who I Used to Be and the three discuss the songwriting process and crack wise as usual.
