Secret Song Club

Welcome to Secret Song Club!
We’re a group of San Francisco Bay Area music fans who get together for concerts and open mics in parks and backyards.

We’re all about creating listening spaces where people can hear music with less background chatter. You don’t have to be a songwriter or a musician to attend. Everyone is welcome.

All donations go to the featured performers. The only part of the club that’s secret is the location. To get the address to our next party, sign up for our mailing list.

Happy to announce I’ve launched a YouTube series called Tiny House Concerts where I talk with musicians about how they’re simplifying their lives to create sustainable careers as indie artists.

The first episodes feature three of my favorite local songwriters, Amie Penwell, Rick Hardin and Meredith Edgar who came up to my tiny house to play new songs and tell the stories behind them.
