Songwriters of all levels and genres are welcome!

As a local NSAI Chapter we host regular meetups and special events where you can connect with fellow creatives, share and listen to songs, exchange feedback, and learn about all the many facets of the music industry!

It’s a relaxed and fun way to grow as a songwriter and Chapter. We invite you to come meet new friends, find future co-writers, and get involved in your growing, fun, and collaborative creative community!

Looking forward to seeing you soon!
