Lyn Eaton: “Remind Me”

By: Jack Anderson

It’s been two decades since Kelley McRae dedicated her life to songwriting, and more recently she ushered in the creation of nonprofit organization Song Rise Arts. McRae’s taught hundreds of students from across the globe and her songwriting curriculum has been approved for college credit since 2017. In addition to Song Rise Arts’ Songwriting Workshops, McRae also heads its Young Artist Program, which provides free songwriting classes, individual instruction and mentorship with professional Austin musicians.

A diverse gaggle of promising young folks come together for the Young Artist Program Showcase 7pm this Wednesday at the Cactus Cafe, including sixteen-year-old songwriter Lyn Eaton, who just released her piano and vocal driven heartbreaker, “Remind Me”!
