NW Songwriter Soiree Retreat Open Mics (2024)

Enjoy some magic moments from inside the 2024 NW Songwriter Soiree Retreats! Every night of the retreat, participants have the opportunity to play their songs on stage in front of the most supportive audience you’ll ever find!

Often people come with no songs — some having never written a song in their life! — and in just 2-3 days, they write a song, arrange it with a full band, and perform it in front of 90+ people (many of those people swore they’d never get on stage : )

It’s truly a transformative experience and we’d love to help you find and bring your song to life at one of our upcoming events Songs in the City May 31st (Portland, OR) and our big annual event, the NW Songwriter Soiree Retreat on the Oregon Coast Oct 20-23rd!

I want to thank you so sincerely for the space you created through the songwriter Soiree events. The retreat was an experience that I’m still feeling the ripple effects from. Being in such a safe, warm, curious community of people who reveled in each other’s craft felt so disarming – that I can’t help but bottle it up and take it with me. I felt how lovely it was to be inspired, seen, and to feel like I belong. Your heart for music and the community it can build is so appreciated. – Maria Lytle

“The Songwriter Soiree is music church for me. I’m inspired every time by the vulnerability musicians embody. Thank you Robin for creating a cocoon that feels untouched by the outside world. Songwriter Soiree is the medicine we all need right now!
