The Great Unknown, an alt-folk band from Philadelphia, kicked off the program in Washington DC last week. This week they worked with the SCORES kids in Cleveland, and they’ll be moving on Milwaukee, Boston and New York in the coming weeks.
The residency is a unique program in which accomplished music artists visit a SCORES school for three days, conducting songwriting sessions. In the first day days, the band and the SCORES kids collaborate and write an original song. On the third day, they go into a professional studio and record their work. ASCAP creates a CD at the end of the program and distributes it to the schools, to SCORES sites, to the students, and throughout the music industry.
