Song Circle Showcase (Roster Full)
Couth Buzzard Books Espresso Buono Cafe, 8310 Greenwood Avenue North, Seattle, WA, USSongwriters sharing the stage is a unique experience for performers and audience alike. In partnership with the Couth Buzzard, we are proud to offer this new showcase opportunity quarterly on Saturdays from 5-8pm.
These sessions will feature two 80-minute song circles of three performers each (with an intermission). Based on the model developed at legendary songwriters’ venues like Nashville’s Bluebird Café and Boston’s Club Passim, these sessions offer a different kind of performance vibe and opportunity for local songwriters that develop a wonderful synergy all their own. Host Mike Buchman will coordinate the song circle groupings. Each performer can expect to play 5 or 6 songs
We'll supply PA, vocal mics, and one direct input for each performer. There is also an electric piano on site. If you have additional tech needs, reach out to Mike at mikebuchman@yahoo.com.
