The Bluebird Cafe - Writers Night Rules

Thank you for your interest in our open auditions. Due to the large volume of people who will be auditioning, we ask that you read and follow the rules. In order to make the auditions fair to everyone, we cannot make exceptions... We appreciate your understanding.

  • RULE #1: Read and follow the rules!

  • You must be in line outside The Bluebird no later than 10:30 am to check in. You will perform in the order you arrive, however, absolutely no one will audition if they arrive after 10:30. (Trust us on this one.)

  • Plan to play 1 verse and 1 chorus of 1 original song that YOU wrote (or co-wrote.) Excessively long instrumental intros and endings are not to your advantage as you have about 1 minute of total time to audition.

  • Due to the large volume of songwriters, we insist that you do not bring anyone to wait with you in line or to watch your audition.

  • Please bring your own guitar with a strap (as you will be standing). You may plug in or we can mic your guitar.

  • Thanks to Kawaii, we now have a house keyboard, which we will set up for these auditions.  Everyone will use that keyboard.

  • Absolutely NO BACKING TAPES!

  • Plan on being at The Bluebird for three hours minimum.

  • If you need to cancel, you must call if you wish to attend a future audition. We will not reschedule auditions for no call - no shows.

  • PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! We ask that you do not leave your trash (food wrappers, cans, bottles, cig butts, etc.) on the ground. We're not your maids!

  • Your slot will be held in your name only.  You may NOT give your slot to anyone else.

  • Although solos are preferred, you may have a maximum of three people on stage. NO drum sets or kits.

  • When you begin your audition, please state your name, where you are from, and the title of the song you will perform. Please do not add any additional information.

  • There will be no smoking inside The Bluebird.

  • Do not leave when you are done performing, please quietly sit back down and don't disrupt the next auditionee. We will take breaks to allow groups to leave.

 

  • BE ON TIME!!! 

    

If you are chosen to play on our Sunday Night Writer's Night, you will be notified via email within a few weeks and scheduled to play in about six to eight months. Please DO NOT call to find out how you did. Good Luck... Keep writing! And remember, this will not make or break your career.
