Founded in 2018, the 11:59 Songwriting Group is an annual project designed to provide inspiration, support, accountability, and feedback for a diverse group of musicians and songwriters.

Every year, the group’s founder Dave Madden curates a collective of artists ranging from singer-songwriters to instrumentalists, poets, visual artists, composers, solo artists, and bands. It’s a vibrant community where many genres of music are represented. Since its inception in 2018, the group has created over 1,000 songs—and they're just getting started.

In 2023, the group was awarded a $10,000 Live Music Fund grant from the Music & Entertainment Division of the City of Austin’s Economic Development program. This grant has allowed the group to flourish in new and exciting ways. The funds were distributed widely throughout Austin, impacting more than 70 individual small business owners, local companies and artists.
