Kara Golemba will join us to discuss how she approaches lyrics and song topics with intention as she breaks down a few of her new songs and the thought processes behind them. She’ll also jump into open discussions about process writing and some tricks about how to shift comfort patterns.
She’ll finish with some information about the many ways to approach co-writing, the different intentions behind different styles or desired outcomes. Kara will also provide suggestions on how to prepare for each co-writing experience; no two co-writes are the same!
Following the discussion, we'll have a song share - bring your latest pieces or those that you'd like feedback on to share with the group.
Bring your pen/paper, writing devices, and your guitar or main instrument if you wish to participate in the song share portion. A vocal mic and a small PA system will be available for use if needed; please note that a keyboard will not be on hand this month.
Song Share
The song share allows songwriters to share what they’ve been working on and receive feedback from other songwriters in a supportive environment. There will typically be time for one song per person during the song share. If you know in advance that you plan to share a song, please let us know when you register so we can try to time things accordingly.
If you choose to participate in the song share, you may wish to share your lyrics with us so we can share them with the group on the night of the event. This allows the other songwriters in the room (as well as those on Zoom) to follow along, which can be helpful for receiving feedback on your song. This is entirely optional, but if you wish to share your lyrics, you can upload them when you register (on the in-person registration form) or email them to us at

Regina Songwriters Group

Kara Golemba Bio
Kara Golemba's most recent release, a full length album entitled "Keep These Stories Safe" has a self-confidence woven through its themes and tones. She uses her craft to distill her life experiences in ways that awaken the listener to their own vulnerabilities. With production sensibilities reminiscent of Susan Tedeschi or Brandi Carlile, Golemba holds her listeners with both a powerfully dynamic voice and a hooky guitar. The Proudly Saskatchewan Showcase winner received a nomination from The Saskatchewan Music Awards 2022 for Roots Artist of the year and "Keep These Stories Safe" was declared one of the Top 10 albums at the Saskatchewan Music awards in 2023.
