What we’re about
The Atlanta Songwriters' Club (ASC) exists for songwriter's who want to network with, relate to, become friends with, intermingle among, learn from, and give support to other songwriters. The crowd size and attendee make-up vary every week. You do not need to be a member of the club to attend.

HOW ASC WORKS IS THIS: SEE OUR LISTINGS FOR THE DATES, TIMES, AND LOCATIONS OF WHERE WE MEET. We have a stage, mic, keyboard, and DI plug-ins. You bring $5.00 to help cover the cost of the room.
If you have an original song, you perform it. Everyone (whether they perform or not) chats about it after the song is performed. Then we’re on to the next performer and we repeat.
Folks attend ASC for many reasons. To hone their craft, simply be heard by fellow creatives, soak up the creative vibe that feeds their soul, and even practice bits of their own upcoming stage show in front of people who can give meaningful performance feedback.
All people, music genres, and subject matter are welcome. The only rule is: Be nice and be kind and be willing to share; to get better at our craft, attendees are always truthful and open.
Don’t want to get any feedback? No problem. Just tell everybody when you get up on stage, and we’re good to go.
The Meeting Venues: The famous Red Light Cafe is famous! It's also a cozy Live Performance Venue that has hosted everything from local talent to international acts, every genre of music you can imagine, burlesque shows, club meets, and your very own ASC. We've also added Waller's Coffee Shop and Live Music Venue to our meeting place.
Remember: Do NOT bring any OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINK. Let's respect their support of our club and purchase their available foods and drinks.

See all- Original Song Performance and Discussion in Midtown AtlantaRed Light Cafe, Atlanta, GA$5.00
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 8:00. 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.
