Meeting Schedule


The Songwriters of Highlands Appalachia (SOHA) now meet at TWO locations! Bring your acoustic instrument of choice  or just a notebook and come join us!  

On the 1st Thursday of each month, we gather at the Southwest Cultural Center and Marketplac (SVCC&M) at Exit 14 in Abingdon. On the 2nd Saturday of each month, we are at the Birthplace of Country Music (BCM)  museum in Bristol.

SVCC&M: We meet downstairs in the boardroom, come any time between 6:00 and 8:30 PM (a hard stop, as they close the building then). When you enter, there will be a jam session occurring on the stage. Please walk to the back of the audience and take the elevator on the right downstairs. An electric keyboard will be there also if you need a keyboard. Bring a bottle of water.
If you bring guests, they are welcome to stay upstairs and hear the 4-5 different bands that take 30-minute turns playing on stage.  There will also be supper available for sale upstairs. Your guests are also welcome to observe our sessions.
The Crooked Road and The SWCC and Marketplace will graciously list our group in their advertisements and online sites.

BCM: As you enter, inform them that you are with the Songwriters group from Abingdon, as there is normally a fee for entry.

Inaugural session (February 8, 2025)
