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.

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!
- YouTube Live Showcase (performer signup)Link visible for attendees
Perform your music live on YouTube with other SiS members! All you need is Zoom, a decent mic, and yourself.
Songwriters in Seattle hosts a monthly live-streamed showcase on our YouTube channel. Up to 8 songwriters can sign up to perform. We go for 2 hours, so depending on the number of performers, each songwriter typically gets to play 3-5 songs.
This meetup is where you can sign up to perform! If you're interested in showcasing your music in a casual online round robin format, sign up here. (If you're interested in watching the showcase, please follow us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/songwritersinseattle)
This event is hosted by Todd Christoffel and Nat Budin. It will be a supportive and positive opportunity to play your songs live with a very small group of other songwriters.
HOW IT WORKS FOR PERFORMERS
We'll be together on a Zoom call, and that Zoom call will be streamed to Facebook. We'll open the Zoom call at the hour mark for sound checks, and go live 15 minutes after that (at 7:15 Pacific time).
Please make sure you have a good quality microphone, not a tinny built-in, if possible. Some built-in mics are fine, but we can't guarantee that the audio quality will be good from a built-in microphone, so a good quality external one is always preferred.
OTHER NOTES
In order to allow the most people to participate in our small number of song sharing/feedback virtual events, please limit yourself to two of this type of limited RSVP online event per month - thank you!
Please do not RSVP yes just to hold a spot, if it's unlikely you'll make it. These events fill quickly and if you cancel at last minute, or no show, it prevents someone else from being able to come. If your plans change after a "YES" response, please let us know ASAP by changing your RSVP to
"NO" on this event page. That way a wait-listed person will be automatically added. Thank you for being considerate! :-) - Showcase @ C & P Coffee [Roster FULL]C & P Coffee Co, Seattle, WA
