There’s something kind of amazing that happens when someone shares a song they’ve written. It doesn’t have to be perfect. In fact, it’s often the imperfections—the nerves, the shaky voice, the breath they take before they begin—that makes the moment so human and so memorable.

That’s the heart of Mosaic MI, a songwriter-focused gathering here on the Eastside of Seattle.

Now, let’s be clear: Mosaic isn’t just an open mic. 

It’s also not a traditional songwriting circle.

It lives in the space between—something more intimate, more connected. It’s a listening space as much as a performance space. A place where musicians and non-musicians alike show up to be moved, to be present, and to support each other in the most generous way possible.You might even call it a witnessing space for people daring to be seen, heard, and artistic. 

“Most of my journey—like most people’s—what I thought I wanted looked nothing like what I actually needed. But it’s been better.” — Abby K, (Songwriter, Founder of Mosaic MI)
