Listen. Create. Connect.

Over the West Creative Collective is a home for artists, songwriters, listeners, and communities connected through a shared love of music and creativity.

Founded by singer-songwriter and educator Maria McCormack, what began as Over the West Radio has grown into a vibrant creative collective supporting original music, emerging artists, songwriting education, retreats, and community-led initiatives.

At the heart of everything we do is a belief that music has the power to bring people together, inspire creativity, and create meaningful connections.

Through Over the West Radio, we champion independent and emerging artists. Through our songwriting workshops and Go West Songwriting Retreats, we encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to explore their creativity and find their voice. Through the Listening Spaces Network, we help connect local music with local businesses and communities, creating new opportunities for artists to be heard.

We are also proud to support a growing artist family where musicians encourage, collaborate with, and champion one another.

Whether you're an artist, a listener, a songwriter, a student, a business owner, or simply someone who believes in the value of creativity, you'll find a place here.

Over the West Creative Collective exists to support emerging artists, celebrate original music, and create spaces where creativity can thrive.
