We are so excited to welcome Sam Monaco as DocSong’s new Executive Director!

Sam first connected with DocSong through performances featuring stories from New Mainers, work that reflects the heart of what we do: collaboration, storytelling, and music that bridges communities.

A lifelong musician who grew up in Portland, Sam brings a deep commitment to access, inclusivity, and strengthening Maine’s creative community. We’re thrilled to have him leading this next chapter- building on our existing programs while growing deeper roots in Maine.

Drumroll please! 🥁 With the month of May coming to a close, we’re gifted a beautiful new “roots” themed Music in Conversation song.

“Empty Container, Two Step Movement” is one of those songs that sticks with you, and for good reason.

Jack Haskell, alongside teaching artist, Alex Millan, created something so deeply honest here that it’s impossible to ignore. Their haunting harmonies, combined with lyrics like:

“American Dream, home alone / over and over again / in a basement obsessively / prescribed the right way to be”

have a way of settling in your bones. The song wrestles with identity, expectation, and isolation, and the quiet pressure to become someone else’s version of yourself. In a world where we’re constantly searching for a stronger sense of self, Jack and Alex remind us to tell the truth — the good, the bad and the ugly.

Stories like this one tend to live juuust underneath the surface. What truths are you still learning to tell? 🔮💌🎶
