NJ Songwriters in the Round

is a once monthly showcase for talented artists/songwriters to perform their original music in an intimate, acoustic setting.  It is a night to celebrate the songwriter… a night for fans who love music in it's purest form… and a night for the industry to take notice…

We have been visited by execs from Sony, Epic, Zomba, The Oxygen Network, BMI, ASCAP etc. and been written up in Billboard, the NY Times, The Aquarian and other publications...

FAQ

- How does a Songwriter's Circle work?
Four artists/songwriters are featured, each doing two sets of two songs -- each performing 4 original songs.

- Where are the shows?
The shows are held at Maxwell's in Hoboken.... The address is 1039 Washington St., Hoboken, NJ -- Visit their website: www.maxwellsnj.com for directions. (parking info)

- When are the shows?
Shows are every 3rd Tuesday of the month.  Showtime is 8:30 PM.  No cover, no minimum.

- Do I have to be from NJ and/or affiliated with BMI or ASCAP to showcase?
No to both... we have featured artists/writers from all over who make the show a stop when touring our area. Writers affiliated with any PRO (or no PRO) are welcome to submit for a spot.

- Are there any special opportunities, advantages or considerations for NJ Songwriters artists?
Yes. Aside from pulling artists from our NJ Songwriters roster to perform at our special events, there are times we are able to put an artist in a slot at Maxwell's (to open for a national touring act) or other outside performance opportunities. We are also able to offer our artists special "Partner" discount rates to select events.

- How Do I submit for a show?
To be considered for a showcase we prefer submissions through Sonicbids. Please visit their website for more information.  Sonicbids. Only original material will be considered. Submission does not guarantee a performance spot.

- Anything else I should know?
We offer a supportive forum for serious songwriters/artists to present their material. We encourage a positive, relaxed atmosphere... we focus on the songs (not the introductions)... we encourage networking... we present a variety of genres, but the quality of talent remains consistent. We are approaching our 4th year and going strong.... Anything else?

- One more thing -- Do you really read the bios verbatim??!
Yes I do! Except for one reviewer, folks seem to like knowing a bit of background and... well, I just can't remember it all!

PARKING: Maxwell's has 2 options to offer beyond whatever street parking is available:

1. Impark indoor lot 2 12th St. (East of Hudson St.-the lot is actually recessed from the street in the Shipyard Building). The patron must get a ticket in the lot's office. They can then buy a sticker from our bartender for $5 to place on the ticket. That will entitle them to up to 3 hours of parking. BUT...unfortunately that lot closes at 11 p.m. during the week.

2. Park on Park 14th and Park. Ask the bartender to stamp the parking ticket. The patron will then be able to park for $5 (paid directly to the lot). This lot is further away but it is open all night.
