Indianapolis Songwriters Cafe

About Me

We need YOU! This boat only stays afloat with you on board. Sign up for news & information on ISC shows & local events!
Right next to Obama in Barly's 2009 year end review, nothing to complain about!
The Indianapolis Songwriters Cafe is a community bridge, bringing together information & resources for both local artists & fans of songwriter music.
The ISC hosts a monthly show every 3rd Friday of the month at Boulevard Place Cafe, featuring three songwriters in the round. Creating a true listening room environment which gives both performers and audience an intimate, memorable experience where songs can be heard & stories can be told. Come on out to the show!
Additionally the website www.indianapolissongwriterscafe.com provides resources for local songwriters & music fans, serving as a one-stop shop for anything songwriter related in Indianapolis.
The long-term goal of the ISC is simple - to create an atmosphere & culture where Indianapolis finds more songwriters performing original music locally and to see more fans connected with artists & out there at shows.
The main website is loaded with a community calendar featuring all kinds of local songwriter shows, information on people & places and weekly articles & interviews on songwriterish topics!
