About us
The Atlanta Songwriters Club exists for songwriters who want to network with and support other songwriters. You do not need to be a member of the club to attend.
SEE OUR LISTINGS FOR THE DATES, TIMES, AND LOCATIONS OF OUR EVENTS.
Unless otherwise noted, we meet on the second Monday of every month at the Red Light Cafe. Through December 2026, Red Light Cafe is located at 553-1 Amsterdam Ave. Starting in January 2027, we will meet at Red Light Cafe's new location, 437 Moreland Avenue NE in Little Five Points (formerly Star Bar).
We have a stage, mics, keyboard, and DI plug-ins. Your $5.00 cover charge helps cover the cost of the room and technical support.
Everyone is welcome to perform one original song live or play a recording. The group will be happy to provide feedback about the song, although you are welcome to skip the feedback if you'd like. The $5 cover charge is required for both performers and guests.
All people, music genres, and subject matter are welcome. Please be kind, thoughtful, and supportive in your constructive feedback to other songwriters.
