Henhouse Popup Sessions

The Henhouse Popup Sessions began in 2024, when Nashville-based Juno Award-winning producer/guitarist Steve Dawson rented a studio in Vancouver during a few days off while on tour. He brought in some of his talented friends and invited artists and songwriters to book a time slot to record with his band.

They worked at a fast clip - 6 songs a day - but the results were outstanding. Every artist walked away with a fully recorded and mixed song, plus individual tracks from the session.

Since then, The Henhouse Popup has made several appearances throughout the year in different cities.

This is an excellent opportunity to get into an amazing studio with world-class musicians and walk out with professional-quality music.

“The seven songs I have recorded so far at the Henhouse Pop-ups are the seven best decisions I’ve ever made to support my music.  I’m so grateful that I took the step and booked that first song. Currently booking song #8!”
- Taysey (2024/2025 Participant)

“Working with Steve and the gang at the HenHouse pop up sessions has been a truly fantastic and memorable experience. They helped my songs come to life in the most beautiful way, were incredibly supportive and made the whole experience a total blast! I cannot recommend this enough to any musicians out there - a definitive 10/10, 5 star experience!!”
- Lisa (2025 Participant)
