ABOUT SONGCAMP:
The Gordie Sampson Songcamp was conceived by Gordie Sampson, a multiple-award winning Canadian songwriter and artist, as a way to nurture young writers from across Nova Scotia, give them access to knowledge, and help them develop tools that will benefit their writing careers.

Songcamp has launched and fostered the careers of a host of artists including Mo Kenney, Port Cities, Quake Matthews, Neon Dreams, Dana Beeler, and Nicole Ariana.
