Book Club
A new favorite among TOTB members. We vote on a book, meet on Zoom for discussion, and then write songs inspired by the reading. This is a fun way to connect and sparkĀ song inspiration.

Our current book is The Measure by Nikki Erlick.Ā Listening Party is Sunday, May 31.

Write Together on MuteĀ 
Pop-up sessions where we body double, and work onĀ individual songs in a Zoom session.Ā 

Weekly Creative Goal-Setting
This ongoing practice helps members clarify their creative goals, identify unhelpful patterns, and build systems that actually support reaching them. It’s a focused, supportive space to take meaningful steps toward the songs and projects you want to create
