The Songwriters Network (SongNet) reaches a global audience through its website presence and networking through Internet social networks and email distribution lists or groups. Artists from Australia, Greenland, Ireland, among others, in addition to local Southern California artists and artists from throughout the United States have performed at SongNet live events. SongNet hosts a live music showcase every 3rd Wednesday of the month at The Coffee Gallery Backstage, plus other occasional local venues. The Coffee Gallery Backstage is located at 2029 N. Lake Ave., Altadena, California, 91001.
The Songwriters Network continues to offer free, no cover charge, first Wednesday of the month meetings, featuring music industry guest speakers. Songwriters are encouraged to bring a CD with a sample of their work for a live song review and critique from the panelist as well as the audience. This music industry connection has resulted in the placement of several songs into music libraries serving the film and television market, as well as artist management business relationships.
