Song Share Sessions with Jess Martin
Find your voice in a space built for you.

Join host Jess Martin (they/them) at Mill River Music for the Valley’s only song share session dedicated exclusively to non-binary, trans, and women songwriters. Whether you’re a Five College student, a seasoned local pro, or just starting out, you belong here.

We kick off at 7:00 PM with a casual community check-in, followed by an open floor for sharing. Sharing is always optional—come to listen, come to play, or come to find your creative kin.

Vibe: Supportive, queer-affirming, and low-stakes.

Gear: Borrow a shop guitar if you need one!

Feedback: You call the shots. Only get feedback if you ask for it.

New faces are always welcome. Let’s build something beautiful together.
