Welcome to the New England Songwriters Retreat, hosted by Ellis Paul!
Each year, we gather a collection of our favorite master songwriters in Chester, CT to work with 100 students who want to take a deep dive into the heart of their craft. It’s an intense, joyful, cathartic experience, that leaves everyone who enters a better artist, including the Instructors! Everyone departs the weekend inspired and energized, with new songs, new ideas, and new friendships.
We are thrilled to announce that we will be running TWO retreats again in 2024!
NESR 8A: Fri Aug 23 - Tue Aug 27 (2024)
NESR 8B: Fri Aug 30 - Tue Sep 3 (2024) — Labor Day weekend
There are engaging classes, student concerts, one-on-one mentoring meetings, song circles, and a vibrant community that will embrace the best version of your artistic self.
This year's Instructor lineup includes:
🎉 As always, me—Ellis Paul
🎉 As always, your Den Mama and songlover—Laurie MacAllister (of Red Molly)
🎉 NEW TO NESR! Juno award winner—Lynn Miles!
🎉 NEW TO NESR! Grammy-nominated—Seth Glier!
🎉 NESR 2 & 3 ALUM! Legendary entertainer—Vance Gilbert!

Our home for the weekend is in Chester CT, at Guest House Retreat and Conference Center, an historic inn. The accommodations are quaint and cozy, with a B&B vibe. OR you can commute from your CT home or a nearby hotel. The food is delicious, with plenty of healthy vegetarian options. Late summer/early fall is a perfect time to be in New England!
