Showcases are very popular with Songsalive! Australia members, their friends and families and venue owners and operators. Why?..
The member does not have to do a long night.
Members don't have to lug in a whole heap of equipment, in order to get their sound across.
The audience can enjoy listening to its favourite son or daughter in a relaxed and professional atmosphere
The venue owner basks in the glow of happiness exuding from patrons as they enjoy a variety of music from a line-up of different performers.
Members can sell CDs after their sets, maybe even buy or swap one with a fellow members. Win, win.
Maybe best of all: Australians get to hear original Australian music in original Australian settings.

WORKSHOPS
One of the best things you can do for your song, especially if you're almost finished, or have just recently finished it, is to bring it to a workshop.
Having your song listened to, and critiqued by fellow songwriters, often shows up elements which may need addressing, or extending. Sometimes, new ideas flow from the creative reactions to the song, and you find it benefits greatrly from having been given a hearing before finally committing it to recording.
