	SaskMusic x Regina Songwriters: Creative Connection & Co-Writing Sunday, February 22, 7:00-9:00 pm SK Time Online via Zoom. Register HERE Free to attend, and songwriters of all skill levels and styles welcome! This month is all about collaboration - co-writing and connecting with your fellow songwriters. We’ll kick things off with introductions similar to a real co-writing session, sharing things like your favourite songwriters, the styles you gravitate toward, and what you think makes a great song. Once we’ve gotten to know each other, we’ll walk through some co-writing fundamentals before breaking into small groups for a short, low-pressure co-writing session. The goal is to get a hands-on introduction to co-writing, experience the creative energy of writing together, and collaboratively write a chorus in a supportive, relaxed environment.

	Performance Masterclass Weekend: Luther Mallory "Destroy the Stage" Registration opens shortly! SaskMusic is thrilled to present a performance masterclass with Luther Mallory. He'll be bringing his incredible two-day workshop Destroy the Stage, to Saskatoon, March 14-25, 2026! For those who can't attend the weekend - or want to keep learning - there will be an additional 2-hour mini-seminar offered on the evening of March 15. Destroy The Stage is Luther Mallory's high-energy, transformational performance coaching for artists who want to get out of their heads and fully into the moment on stage. Through practical, immediately usable tools - voice, movement, storytelling, audience engagement, and focus - artists learn to break patterns of overthinking and harsh self-judgment that weaken connection. The result is a more present, expressive performance with fewer fear barriers, more vulnerability, more risk-taking, and a stronger bond with the audience. Luther Mallory is an Artist Performance Coach, keynote speaker, and music artist who helps performers build magnetic stage presence by breaking the overthinking and harsh self-judgment that weaken audience connection. A former touring musician with 10 years on the road and 1,000+ shows, he's coached more than 1,000 artists and serves as the Performance Coach for the JUNO Masterclass, as well as CMI's Artist Entrepreneur programs. Watch for registration to open in the coming days! With thanks to Creative Saskatchewan.
	SOCAN CREATORS' RIGHTS CAMPAIGN SOCAN has launched a letter writing campaign advocating for creators' rights. They state, "Canadian music is being taken: without permission, without credit, and without payment. AI companies are scraping and copying music creators’ work to train their systems, threatening the livelihoods of the people who make the music. This isn’t progress. It’s theft. Right now, the Government of Canada is making decisions that will shape the future of music and AI. With your participation, along with the thousands of signatures we expect to gather, we can make it unmistakably clear: AI companies must not be allowed to use your work for free or without your permission. This is the moment to defend human-made music and ensure it remains valued and protected in Canada." As posted on their social media, "Technology should support creators, not steal from them. AI companies must not be allowed to use Canadian music without consent or compensation. Stand with us to protect human creativity. Add your voice, SIGN TODAY." Songwriters Association of Canada in sharing the campaign noted, "We are not anti-technology. But we are anti-theft, and we are pro-human." SaskMusic agrees with these sentiments, and encourages you to visit the link to learn more and consider signing the letter, and share with your connections - non-creatives (as allies) can sign as well.
