We gather once more at Drawing Board Brewing (36 Main St, Florence, MA) for a Song Share Session—a space where nonbinary, trans, and women singer-songwriters create, explore, and connect hosted by Jess Martin.
We begin at 7 PM with a community check-in, sharing our creative goals for the evening. Each participant will have 10 minutes to explore their work—whether that means playing a new song, refining lyrics, or seeking feedback. This is a space for generating and creating, nurturing and supporting—a moment to hold space for each other’s artistry and let our songs take flight.
Come as you are—whether to share, to listen, or to simply be in a room where music and community thrive. In a time when the world feels heavy, we carve out a space to lift each other up. Let’s sing in the spring together.
