Now in its 11th year, The Songwriter's Beat is one of NYC's premiere nights for performing songwriters, where all are encouraged to perform new material in a supportive and encouraging atmosphere.

** BIG NEWS **

** SONGWRITER'S BEAT has
a NEW WEBSITE!!

** AND **

We have MOVED to CHRISTOPHER STREET COFFEE HOUSE

We are delighted to announce our new residency at the acclaimed Greenwich Village songwriters venue, Christopher Street Coffeehouse. The move allows us to present outstanding performing songwriters to a larger audience in a intimate listening environment in the heart of Greenwich Village.

In addition, we launched a NEW WEBSITE which will allow us to post photos, videos, and much more. Over the next few months we'll be transitioning the information from this site to the new one.

Christopher Street Coffeehouse, well-known in songwriter circles, featured legendary singer-songwriter Pete Seeger on October 23, 2010 to an enthusiastic, sold-out crowd of over 300.

We are delighted to bring our Songwriter's Beat family to such a beautiful, supportive venue. It is a true joy to find a venue as passionate about performing singer-songwriters as we are and we're thrilled about pairing so many talented, original songwriters with the magnificent listening environment of the Coffeehouse. What a wonderful way to begin our second decade of presenting performing songwriters!

Founded by NYC singer/songwriter Valerie Ghent in 2000, The Songwriter's Beat has presented over 300 songwriters from NYC, across the US and Canada and around the world. Starting in 2011 The Songwriter's Beat will meet every third Thursday of the month at Christopher Street Coffeehouse, doors at 7pm.
