The 2nd Annual Working Songwriter Forum

We're running it back!

The 2nd Annual Working Songwriter Forum- a long weekend of concerts, workshops, podcasts and open mics- is set for June 5-7, 2026 at the legendary Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago.

Each night of the Forum features a full concert:

Friday night will feature David Ramirez and Rachel Baiman.
Saturday night will feature John Moreland and myself.

The heart of the weekend is a slate of intensive workshops from both Old Town School's master educators, as well as Q&A's with our guest artists.  Attendees will also have the opportunity to play with scheduled open mics on each day of the Forum. 

Three day passes are now on sale, space is limited.

If you have any questions, just reply here.

I look forward to hosting you!
