Brooklyn Songwriters Exchange shows are FREE TO ATTEND. No cover charge, no drink minimum. Just an open venue to see great songwriters. We pass the hat and hope you can give generously to our artists. Union Hall's downstairs music room is the perfect intimate space to take in great songs. Doors to the venue open at 7:30PM and our shows begin at 8PM.
The BSX was founded by Brooklyn native and songwriter
Rebecca Pronsky in the fall of 2005 to encourage community and support
among songwriters in the borough of Brooklyn and around New York City.
Our original home was Vox Pop
and the series ran there until the end of 2006 when it moved to
Brooklyn Lyceum and ran every Sunday in 2007. Since then, the BSX
has been presenting shows on a monthly basis at Union
Hall and will continue to do so into 2010 thanks to a grant from
ASCAP.

singers and songwriters... as well talented musicians from outside the
city [in] a comfortable, small venue." - NY
Daily News
"Promoting local talent for the last

- Brooklyn Courier
"Brooklyn Songwriters Exchange continues to shine at Union
Hall [with] an innovative program ...The downstairs music room provides
great acoustics and a nice set-up away from the ever-popular bocce ball
mania upstairs. The Exchange is a great way to become more involved
in the local music scene. It is an inviting atmosphere where music fans
and local independent musicians alike can come together and be exposed
to the latest in folk/pop music influenced, of course, by the Brooklyn
scene." - Examiner.com
