In season four’s third episode, singer-songwriters Katie Phillips and Karen Joy Brown interview Brittany Aquamarine, a Sonoma County-based singer-songwriter who combines pop and jazz influences in her deeply poetic “mystic soulfolk and ethereal grooves” on piano and guitar. She traces the long arc of music in her life starting on piano at five years old with a long hiatus until discovering songwriting on guitar in her twenties. Bridging the divide between reading and writing music, Brittany exemplifies a lifelong exploration of the beauty of sound and the human inner landscape through awareness and surrender to creativity.

Features her original song, The Immovable Force in relation to the topic.

IN THE NORTH BAY/SAN FRANCISCO AREA?

Join Katie and Karen at Coffee & Moore in Sebastopol for the Not So Open Mic for women performers (and yeah, that means, all women, and femme trans and nonbinary folks who feel comfy being in “women’s spaces”) of original music and covers from 1:30-3:30pm on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month. We want to gather women who have put their creativity on the back burner as well as those who are currently playing out in any capacity, because we believe that songs have the power to transform us regardless of “professional” or “amateur” status.

ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD….

Every Tuesday from 7-8:30 PT, gather with women songwriters around the country and world for Song Salons, an opportunity to share a completed or in-progress song, live or recorded, with curious, enthusiastic colleagues ready to highlight and amplify what’s powerful in your writing and music. Hone songwriting craft skills, get inspired by others, and reconnect with the unique magic you bring through your songs. Meet your long-lost songwriting sisters and get ready to laugh, cry, and keep coming back!

Let Supernova support your songwriting practice with our weekly Songwriting Hour, every Thursday, 9-10am PT. Everyone can write songs! You don’t need to be an experienced singer or even play an instrument. We provide a prompt and resource kit with everything you need to start putting a song together. All you need is a willingness to show up and experiment. New and experienced writers welcome. Open to everyone!
