The next meetup for Regina songwriters will be Wednesday, May 28 with a 'Writing to a Live Groove' experience. Beginning at 7pm, we'll be joined by a drummer and bassist who will perform a soundtrack of various grooves intended to inspire songwriting ideas. We will spend some time doing this writing exercise and wrap with a song share.

There will be a PA to plug into. Please bring your own instrument (guitar, keyboards) if you wish to participate in the song share.

At The Club (The Exchange), 7pm. Free admission; everyone welcome!

Due to the live music component of this session, we will not be Zooming it.

Proudly presented by SaskMusic x Regina Songwriters.
