Cornelia Street Cafe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cornelia Street Cafe, in New York's Greenwich Village, was home to a Monday night workshop for songwriters in the early 1980s. The one rule for the songwriters was that the song had to have been written — or at least heavily worked on — within the past week. It was a venue in which songwriters such as Suzanne Vega perfected their craft, sometimes receiving private comments from other songwriters but often just having a chance to watch reactions to the song in a supportive environment. The cooperative also formed the Fast Folk Musical Magazine.
Other regular contributors to the workshop included Jack Hardy, Steve Forbert, Ray Korona, Cliff Eberhardt, Steven Brant, Lucy Kaplansky, Rod MacDonald, and Michael Fracasso.
The Pink Pony open mic poetry series is hosted by the Cornelia Street Cafe. Jackie Sheeler is the host. Spoken word and Poetry Slam artists are featured.
