The Amsterdam Songwriters Guild (ASG) is a network of singer-songwriters. Do you like to join? Then meet us at one of our open mic nights in Amsterdam. Every Tuesday at Cafe Sappho , Vijzelstraat 103; every Thursday at ’skek , Zeedijk 4 and every Sunday at Cafe de Doelen, Kloveniersburgwal 125. The core business of ASG is arranging gigs for the singer-songwriter, so you can try out your songs and gain experience. We have about 12 events per month, with plenty of possibilities outside during the summer. Who said singing your own songs can’t be fun? We will refresh the songs on this page every now and then, so that you can get a good view of our artists. Otherwise you can also browse our members to obtain more music for your soul!
Henk Langeveld is drawing our artists who are playing on the open mic session. This is what he sent us so far:
