What we’re about
We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization consisting of Greater Seattle area songwriters and musicians who hold events that foster creative development, collaboration, music education, and performance! We range in experience from those just trying their hand at songwriting to seasoned professionals. If you are looking for collaboration, promotion, live performances, increasing your skills, or just meeting other friendly local talent, come see what we have to offer and find out how your skills can benefit your fellow musicians! All lyricists, musicians, and songwriters of all levels and styles are welcome to join.

Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Speed Songwriting: Unleash Your CreativityLink visible for attendees
(Online event - Zoom link shown when you RSVP Yes)
Come along and write some songs and have some creative fun! Using interesting and quirky songwriting prompts, we'll use short, timed writing sessions to unleash the imagination and dream some brand new music into being. No pressure, just pure creative exploration for the joy of it.
If you're feeling a bit stuck creatively... if you haven't written anything in a while... if you want some time out to just feel what wants to be expressed inside you... or if you're noticing that songwriting isn't that enjoyable anymore... This will be a ton of fun. All welcome! The focus is on your personal creative process and not on feedback but in between writing sessions, there will be space for a few folks to share their works in progress.

Couth Buzzard book store and cafe has an intimate performance space that regularly hosts music events. The SiS showcase here is a recurring event every 1st Saturday of the month.
This venue is unable to have a stage or stage lighting so it is best suited for solo artists and at most duos. We'll keep it simple and relatively low volume.
Note: Individual performance times will be determined at the venue the evening of the showcase.
Sound check and back lining gear is at 7:00 p.m.
Each performer plays for about 25 minutes.
Everyone is encouraged to attend and support even if you aren't performing. Should be a great evening!
