“Boston is just an amazing town for young songwriters to develop their skills and launch their careers,” said Tina Shafer, Artistic Director for the New York Songwriters Circle. “Over the past year we have witnessed some outstanding performances at Cafe 939 by artists who we feel are standing at the edge of greatness.”
The New York Songwriters Circle, now in its 19th year, has helped launch the careers of Norah Jones, Gavin DeGraw, Jesse Harris, Lisa Loeb, Vanessa Carlton, and Chris Barron. Check out some clips of past NYSC showcases here.
