PAGE TO STAGE: A Songwriting Day Camp w/ Heather Maloney ft. Kimaya Diggs and Don Mitchell (of Darlingside)
Back by popular demand, this summer edition of downtown Northampton's songwriting day-camp takes place in 2 beloved Western Mass music venues (Iron Horse and Parlor Room) and culminates in an optional songwriter showcase at the Arcadia Folk Festival! (day pass included with your registration!)

Get inspired in a deeply supportive community of songwriters (from beginner to advanced), as we deep-dive into a multi-step musical journey from stoking inspiration, to writing, refining, and ultimately performing a song we feel proud of.

We'll learn from each other, from seasoned songwriter-performers (Heather, Kimaya + Don), and from the world-class musicians in this year's Arcadia Folk Festival line-up.

Our new-and-improved schedule now includes free/unstructured time for writing/collaboration, optional workshops, surprise guest instructors, in-depth Q+As on expanded song-related topics, gentle song feedback circles and multiple performance opportunities-- including the option to play at this year's Arcadia Folk Festival!
We'll work our way from page to stage together, touching on all the steps along the way:
• Feed inspiration / get "unstuck" with free-writing techniques + song deconstructions
• Finish / refine your songs with tried-and-true songwriting tools + gentle feedback
• Get comfortable on stage with a *more* in-depth Q&A, covering topics like stage fright, working with a sound engineer, stage banter, mic technique + more
• Move at your own pace + customize your schedule with optional workshops (music business + more)
• Perform a song in a showcase with your fellow song-campers at Arcadia Folk Festival or on the Parlor Room stage at the workshop finale
