OPEN MICS AND SHOWCASES

OPEN MICS AND SHOWCASES
All levels of performance learning opportunities

OPEN MIC

Songwriters can play as few as one song and as many as 3-5 songs depending on how many sign up. Just show up and sign up on the list. You will get a turn to play for a nurturing audience who will listen to your song and not judge your performance, but can offer constructive feedback upon request.

SHOWCASE

Songwriters who have a live recording of their performance and can play 30 minutes of their original material may contact the showcase director to schedule a spot. If you do not have a recording, then show up and perform at the open mic and let the director know you will be there. Once you have performed on a 30 minute program, then you can apply for a one hour spot at one of our showcases. You must be a member in good standing of Dallas Songwriters Association to showcase.
