My friend Randy Elrod has this crazy ridiculous dream to build an amazing retreat centre for artists in the hills of Tennessee. I know it’s a crazy ridiculous dream because all of the mildly wild dreams that Randy has had have come true, or so it seems. We got to visit the property at re:create this year and I know that people are excited at what this whole thing is going to become.

One of the first “official” Kalein things that Randy is doing is putting together a Songwriting Retreat & Master Class with Mark Lee from Third Day and Bryan White, a country recording artist.

Randy posted this about the Kalein retreat -

The Kalein Songwriting Retreat & Master Class is an international songwriting workshop. The Retreat is open to amateur and professional songwriters who submit entries in any one of 12 categories.

Master Teachers are Mark Lee of Third Day & Bryan White. Combined their songs are responsible for 7 million albums in sales, 4 Grammy Awards, 25 #1 songs, 20+ Dove Awards, ASCAP Song of the Year Award, CMA’s Horizon award and the Academy of Country Music’s Top New Male Vocalist award and was named CMT Rising Star and Male Video Artist of the Year, TNN/Music City News Star of Tomorrow, and SRO Touring Artist of the Year and songs such as “Show Me Your Glory”, “Strong Tower”, “Sky Falls Down”,”Love Is The Right Place” and “One Small Miracle” “Love Is The Right Place” and “One Small Miracle”, “Someone Else’s Star,” “Rebecca Lynn,” “So Much For Pretending” and “I’m Not Supposed To Love You Anymore”

If you are interested or know people who would be, you should definitely check this out. I promise that you will not be disappointed.
