About Central Arkansas Chapter

The Central Arkansas NSAI Songwriters Showcase is held at Hibernia Irish Tavern in Little Rock on the first Monday of each month except June (ACMA Awards night).

Hibernia opens their doors at 5:00 PM with full bar and menu. The showcase begins at 7:00 PM and is usually done by 10:00.

Cover is $5. Songwriters are not charged.

·      The showcase consists of two sets of songwriters, taking turns and singing four of their original compositions each.

·      There are three songwriters in each set.

·      Each songwriter is asked to take no more than five minutes to introduce and sing their song. 

·      Each songwriter will have one line input for their instrument and one vocal microphone.

One extra instrument input can be provided if needed; let me know in advance, please.

 

The NSAI Central Arkansas Songwriters Showcase is a listening venue. Everyone attending is urged to please refrain from talking while the songwriters are performing.

Chapter News

Support for our monthly NSAI Songwriters Showcase has been outstanding! Forty to fifty people have been showing up every month for the songwriters of Central Arkansas and the chapter coordinators couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you to everyone! 

Please remember:

THERE WILL NOT BE A SONGWRITERS SHOWCASE IN JUNE!

NSAI Central Arkansas welcomes Chris Fleischmann as our new coordinator. Chris brings years of songwriting experience to the chapter. He has recently taken on the task of preparing for the upcoming "Chapter Challenge" and has already completed the task of making everything ready for our members to enter their songs.
