Episode Details

In season five’s first episode, singer-songwriters Katie Phillips and Karen Joy Brown ask the important question on all of our minds at this low point of disillusionment in our world. They highlight the ongoing challenge to create art as a way of both bringing about personal and system-wide change and for the radical joy of it.

Features their original songs, Good Times! and Breakfast at the End of the World, in relation to the topic.

IN THE NORTH BAY/SAN FRANCISCO AREA?

Join Katie and Karen at Brew in Santa Rosa for the Not So Open Mic for women performers (and yeah, that means, all women, and femme trans and nonbinary folks who feel comfy being in “women’s spaces”) of original music and covers from 1:30-3:30pm on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month. We want to gather women who have put their creativity on the back burner as well as those who are currently playing out in any capacity, because we believe that songs have the power to transform us regardless of “professional” or “amateur” status.

ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD….

Every Tuesday from 7-8:30 PT, gather with women songwriters around the country and world for Song Salons, an opportunity to share a completed or in-progress song, live or recorded, with curious, enthusiastic colleagues ready to highlight and amplify what’s powerful in your writing and music. Hone songwriting craft skills, get inspired by others, and reconnect with the unique magic you bring through your songs. Meet your long-lost songwriting sisters and get ready to laugh, cry, and keep coming back!
