Let's build community through music! 

A new community open mic has begun! 

These times call for gathering, creating, and listening to one another. If that resonates, I hope you will join the Open Heart Open Mic, a gathering for thoughtful, intentional sharing, where we hold space for each others' experiences with open hearts and loving intention. Bring your curiostity, your creativity, or simply your presence. Music and spoken word welcome.

We are beginning to have a monthly theme to see if it sparks anything new to create or share. June's theme (to share at the 6/20 open mic is “home.”

For more info, email or message me!
