Like they do in Nashville, let's do some co-writing! Whether you specialize in lyrics, melody, chords, or all three, come join us with your partially-formed ideas to mix with others and form a tasty musical stew. This is different than other songwriting groups (i.e., it's not for bringing your already-written song for review by others, and it's not to learn how to write a song). Here we pool our talents and create one or two songs on the spot each time we meet.
