COLLECTIVE SONG CLUB > Tuesday, May 26th 6-8:30PM
The goal of the Collective Song Club is to create a nurturing space for songwriters, artists and producers to present their works in progress, completed songs and productions as well as ask questions about the music business. Vetting songs about to be recorded will give you one more moment of clarity and reflection before you spend energy and dollars on your recording. Song tempos and keys can be discussed as well as best possible producers and vocalists for your project.
You'll find all instructions after registering for joining the meeting and sending a song MP3 and lyric sheet (unless you are performing live!) If the demand exceeds the 10 participant limit, a list will be created and those who missed out on the first Club will be first to join the next session. Every Song Club is recorded and participants receive a link to download the next day to be able to review comments!
Thanks to all our members for a wonderful evening of music at our
March & April MEMBER SHOWCASE's at The Bitter End
Our next on May 31st ... Save The date!
Next Open House Coming soon!
JOIN US for our next monthly Collective free-to-all “Open House” on ZOOM where all may join to ask questions and seek advice on everything “songwriting”. This includes music, lyrics, recording, mixing, mastering, recording software (ProTools, LOGIC….) computers, copyright, agreements, PROs (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC), royalties, song distribution (CD Baby, Tunecore, Distrokid….), Sound Exchange, and anything else that comes to mind. We won’t be dispensing formal legal advice but most situations are easily definable in the language provided. If it’s time to turn to a professional … we’ll be sure to point you in that direction.

Meet MARC ROSETT.....
Marc has written songs in a wide variety of styles, ranging from
Classical art songs and Musical Theatre, to Country, Folk, Americana, and Pop. His 9 / 11 Anniversary Anthem, "Take The Time", is performed live every year at some of the largest commemorative events around town. The same goes for his albums of original Christmas Music every year in December, all throughout New York City.
Marc is lucky enough to count among his mentors Stephen Schwartz, who painstakingly sat with him, pouring over his lyrics and song structures when he was in the earlier, formative stages of his development as a songwriter. As such, lyrics have always been a point of emphasis in his songs, often written before, or certainly at the same time as, the music is written. Thanks go out to Michael Kerker and Fran Richard over at ASCAP, for their guidance on, and support of his songs in the Musical Theater and
Classical genres, respectively.
Each year the ASCAP Foundation turns to the Collective to help find the right song for the JAY GORNEY Award established by the Gorney family. Jay Gorney was a long-time ASCAP member and composer who, along with lyricist E. Y. “Yip” Harburg, wrote the 1930’s classic, “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” which became the anthem of the Great Depression. The Collective is pleased to announce that Marc's song, THE WINDS OF CHANGE is the 2019 recipient of the award. Congrats Marc!!!
