Winter Songwriting Jam NYC

Bring yourself, bring a poem, bring an instrument, bring a notebook, bring something on your mind.

Songwriting Jam at My Little Magic Shop is an open, heart-centered creative gathering where we co-create music inspired by our collective words, thoughts, and emotions. This is not a traditional concert — it’s a collaborative music-making experience rooted in curiosity, play, and connection.

Participants are invited to:
• Share poetry, lyrics, or thoughts
• Play an instrument
• Offer ideas anonymously through our “jam jar”
• Or simply come as a listener and witness the creative flow

Together, we’ll transform shared inspiration into songs in real time. Whether you actively collaborate or quietly observe, your presence becomes part of the energy that shapes the music.

No musical experience is necessary — just an open heart and willingness to explore.

This is a relaxed, inclusive space where creativity is welcomed without pressure, perfection, or performance expectations.

• Writers, poets, and musicians
• People curious about songwriting
• Creative spirits seeking inspiration
• Community members craving connection
• Anyone who enjoys live, collaborative art
