The email list will keep you up-to-date on what's going on at The Songwriter's Beat, who's playing, when, and special events.
(Presumably if you'd like to join us at the Songwriter's Beat, you're interested about other songwriters who are performing - yes, we notice these things!)
Because of staff limitations (there are no paid staff!), we are unable to contact artists who, for whatever reason,
are not booked at the Songwriter's Beat. We are unable to return CDs.
We DO encourage you to come to any Songwriter's Beat night, check out how things are run,
what other people are doing, participate, introduce yourself!
Please keep in mind that we suggest songwriters bring in new material when they perform at The Songwriter's Beat.
So....start thinking about new material, or reworking some older material, or poking around and finding that old song from high school that you never dared to perform live before......and have fun! Keep writing!!
