COMING TO CHATTANOOGA

Freedom Sings USA presents its first Veterans Songwriting Retreat of the 2025

season - starting right here in our hometown, Chattanooga. FSUSA’s touring retreat

is a 2-day event featuring a Veteran-only VIP mixer, songwriting workshops and a free public concert finale.

VETERANS WRITE WITH NASHVILLE HIT-MAKERS

Sharing, healing, reconnecting through the art of songwriting

Songwriting workshops will be led by Bobby Tomberlin, Bill Whyte, Steve Dean, Don Goodman and Bill DiLuigi — a lineup of artists that have worked with and written for Nashville greats like Dolly Parton, George Strait, Blake Shelton, Alabama, Diamond Rio and many more. The songwriters will work with Veterans during private workshops to help them share their experiences and learn how to use songwriting as a tool for wellness and stress management. On the final evening (Feb.22), the songwriting team will perform the veterans’ songs –along with some of their hits– in a free public concert.
