it’s not finished!

Austin’s premier songwriting

craft community

Step into a space of support to aid your artistic development while finishing more songs.

Every month. Check back for exact details.


the problem

We’re songwriters.

We chase melody and harmony to move our audience.

But the road is hard.

We get distracted.

We beat ourselves up.

And often…
we don’t finish our songs.

Does this sound

like you?

“I’m sitting on a bunch of songs I haven’t finished.”

“My voice notes are a graveyard of ideas.”

“My process is wildly inconsistent.”


the invitation

  • Be supported and celebrated by a community of other songwriters

  • Learn new tools and techniques to apply to your process and performance

  • Be surrounded by collaborators dedicated to executing their songwriting visions and supporting you on yours.

how it works

The Rule

There are only two types of feedback: Positive and Constructive. (Negative feedback is called being a douche).

The Process

  1. Participants share a vulnerable, unfinished piece.

  2. Mentors deliver both Positive and Constructive expert feedback.

  3. Participants get to hang out and chat about each others work, find collaborators, and share feedback.

The result

You learn how to drown out your own inner critic through true community and celebration.

the logistics

Bring

  • One song in progress or newly finished,

  • A notebook (this is a learning environment),
