Remember the art of the mixtape - the ritual of deciding which songs to share and in what order - then timing each intro and outro so the finished product flowed just right? The mixtape was more than a playlist. It was a powerful device that allowed you to communicate a series of emotions by tapping a wide range of musical artists and genres. We honor that lost art by covering bands like Radiohead, R.E.M., Fleetwood Mac, Neko Case, Steely Dan, Band of Horses, The Black Keys and more.
This is the soundtrack of our lives. This is Life on Tape.

Join us for the Atlanta Songwriters Club Meet Up at Red Light Café every second Monday of the month! $5 at the door, starts at 8pm, and you can sign up to play a song if you'd like when you get here.
The Atlanta Songwriters Club is a bit like an open mic with a few key differences. This group exists for songwriter's who would like to interact with other songwriters. It is similar to an open mic, but with the added benefit of discussion. You can come and play a song or just watch and listen. If you'd like to play, you will tell us all if you are interested in receiving feedback on the song or not. If you are interested then after you play we will all discuss what we like about the song, and any suggestions we might have as a group. If you'd rather not have any feedback on the song then you will simply play the song for us. There's no cash prize, competition, or politics. Just songwriting discussions and hopefully new friendships.
If you're a songwriter looking to connect with other songwriters and get some dialogue happening, this group is for you! A club like this allows us to get to know other local songwriters, and learn from one another.
