This special masterclass offers a unique opportunity to learn from country music legend Leona Williams, renowned for her work alongside Merle Haggard, including the classic hit “You Take Me for Granted.” The experience begins with one ticket to the Saturday night Opry show on September 26, where Leona will perform, following a first set featuring original songs performed by Opry artists. The following Sunday morning, participants will join Leona and her son Ron—an accomplished songwriter in his own right—for an intimate songwriting masterclass. While not a guaranteed performance opportunity, attendees may have the opportunity to workshop and share a song with Leona, gaining invaluable feedback and insight from two seasoned professionals. This session is designed for songwriters looking to deepen their craft, drawing on decades of experience in storytelling, collaboration, and the country music tradition.
