Collaborative Songwriting Workshop

Have you ever wanted to co-write a song but didn't know where to start? Do you have melodies without words, or lyrics waiting for music?

Join local musician and songwriter Matt Litzinger for a hands-on collaborative songwriting workshop designed for musicians, poets, and anyone curious about the creative magic that happens when artists work together.

We'll start with practical tips on collaborative songwriting, then break into small groups where the real magic happens. You'll have dedicated time to develop ideas together, whether you're working from our writing prompt or your own concepts. We'll reconvene to share our creative breakthroughs and learn from each other's processes.

Space is limited to 12 participants to ensure an intimate, collaborative environment.

Coffee and light snacks will be provided to fuel your creativity.

Matt Litzinger is a New Hampshire-based singer-songwriter known for his vulnerable, hopeful storytelling and warm, relatable sound. His voice has been described as "right at home alongside Evan Stephens Hall of Pinegrove or Colin Meloy of the Decemberists" by 92.5 The River (WXRV).

Matt's musical journey began at eight years old, learning piano with his mom and singing along to his dad's banjo. This early foundation in collaborative music-making shaped his belief that the best songs often emerge when artists create together. As a performing songwriter, Matt has experienced firsthand how collaboration unlocks creativity. A co-writer's fresh perspective can help reveal possibilities you never saw alone.

In his workshops, Matt creates a space for songwriting to experience joyful discovery rather than solitary struggle. He brings practical tools, honest encouragement, and the belief that the right creative partnership can transform not just your songs, but your entire relationship with the songwriting process.

This workshop takes place at Studio 550 Art Center, a vibrant community arts space in Manchester dedicated to bringing people together through creativity. The flexible studio space comfortably accommodates small group breakouts, providing an ideal environment for collaborative songwriting. Known for its welcoming atmosphere and commitment to fostering connection among makers of all skill levels, Studio 550 is a space designed for joy, learning, and creative exploration.
