I met John Braheny and his wife Joann several years ago at the West Coast Songwriter’s Conference and they introduced me to Michael Laskow, CEO of TAXI. When I recommend a place to get expert feedback on your songwriting – John is always one or two or three names on the list.
John is in demand as a top consultant for songwriters, performers and industry entrepreneurs. He is a consultant and screener for Taxi.com, the worlds leading independent A&R company and offers valuable feedback on songwriting craft and business and career strategies for performers. He is one of the most respected people in the music industry, and, more specifically, in the songwriting community. He is referred to as “the songwriter’s best friend” for his tireless efforts to create education and discovery opportunities for songwriters, to help bring public attention to songwriting as an art form and to champion songwriters’ rights. His activities in these areas include:
It is with devastating sorrow that I give you the news that John Braheny has left us. On January 19th, 2013, John died of cancer. He will no longer be able to teach you songwriting in person. He will no longer be offering in person songwriting and music business advice to songwriters. But his brilliance lives on in his book and the videos he did for TAXI TV. And in our hearts. We miss you, John.
