Hey friends, Jo here. I hope you’re all doing well.

I’m hosting and curating a songwriter residency at Artichoke Music and starting to book artists for songwriter rounds throughout 2026.

The format is 4 to 6 songs per artist. The shows are radio advertised, typically sell out, and are professionally recorded. Artists will receive usable audio and video for future promotion, and the shows will also be live streamed.

This residency is curated with a focus on artists who are actively performing, releasing music, and engaging audiences at a professional level.

I’m currently booking April 23, along with additional dates throughout the rest of the year, and I’d love to reconnect with artists I’ve worked with before, as well as hear from others who feel aligned.

Past songwriter rounds I’ve hosted have included Chris Pureka, Amber Rubarth, Alex Wong, Eric Henry Anderson, Lizzie Cates, Heather Combs, Chantelle Tibbs, Karyn Ann, Laryssa Birdsye, Tim Snider, and many more.

If you’re interested, feel free to send me a message with your availability and we can take it from there.

Hey hey SITR friends!

We have the opportunity to come back with a monthly series at an amazing listening room space in Portland TBA that fosters original music. It’ll be a consistent day every month.

I’m curious- Would you prefer to attend/perform on a Thursday evening or a Sunday matinee?

Let me know in the comments please 🙏

Love, your host- Jo Blinman

P.s. if you are a national regional touring artist, and you have performed at one of my past songwriters in the rounds in Reno, Nevada, Brooklyn, New York or here in Portland, I’d love to have you back- please message me!
