Writers’ Bloc is a monthly gathering for songwriters to share songs they’re working on with a supportive group of other songwriters. This is an inclusive group and is open to songwriters at any level, even those just getting started. We also have a new topic we discuss each week related to songwriting, from the hook, to melody, to the tools of songwriting. Each month we begin with an inspiring discussion. Hope to see you there.
