Are you a songwriter looking for community, inspiration, and momentum? Song Foundry is a new group for anyone who writes original songs, whether you’re an experienced writer or just getting started. We welcome all backgrounds, genres, and stories. Our goal is to connect songwriters, foster honest feedback, and build confidence through sharing, collaboration, and live performance.

Song Foundry isn’t about cover bands or competition. It’s about craft, process, and supporting one another. At our meetups, you can bring works-in-progress for feedback, share finished songs, or simply listen and connect. We offer mentorship for new writers from experienced writers, creative partnerships, and group outings to open mics or showcases.
