Original Song Performance and Discussion in Midtown Atlanta

The Atlanta Songwriters Club meets on the second Monday of each month at the famous Red Light Cafe to share original songs of any genre and discuss the craft of songwriting. It's a great chance to try out new material in a supportive and constructive setting.

Doors open at 7:00 and performances begin around 7:30. Red Light Cafe is just east of Piedmont Park in Midtown Atlanta's Amsterdam Walk.

$5 Cash or Venmo to watch and/or perform. See the host (Anthony) to pay and to sign up if you want to perform.

• Anyone who wants to perform (or play a recording) can bring one original song written by the performer. Feedback is offered by the group if you would like.

• For pianists, an old upright and a keyboard with weighted keys are available for use at the venue. Otherwise, bring whatever instrument you'd like to play to support your song. We see plenty of guitars, of course, but maracas, violins, and didgeridoos have all been used as well. We can also play your track from USB or smartphone. Small ensembles are welcome, but keep in mind that we won't have much time for setup between performers.

• You're also welcome to sing a cappella or simply share lyrics you wrote.

• If you don't want to perform, come for the music and feel free to participate in the discussion.

We are all here for the craft. Looking forward to seeing you.
