THE CHICK SINGER STORYChick Singer Night has been expanding at a rapid pace in this millenia, and is now proud to announce it's first international launch in Stockholm Sweden this Fall. Since celebrating it's 15th year anniversary with Megan Mullally in Hollywood and Norah Jones & Daru in New York, Chick Singer Night is the nation's most notable original and longest-running songfest for female artists. Gathering support from NAMM in 2004, and the producer project with Guitar Center bringing winning performers into world class recording studios, CSN has developed into a national and soon to be global presence. The format is a simple one. All singers are welcome; all styles of music, all levels of experience, all walks of life. Each singer shows up the afternoon of the show, charts in hand, and runs her songs with the CSN Band. Later that evening they hit the stage with a hot band in a cool venue and give the performance of a lifetime! CSN founder Lori Maier (Bio) hosted the first Chick Singer Night in Chicago
over 20 years ago, and is now stonger than ever. Since then, CSN has spread its wings across the country and is now a national monthly or quarterly event in Boston (Regency Theater), New Jersey (Mexicali Blues Cafe), Jersey City (Hyatt Regency Outdoor Summer Series), Chicago (Beat Kitchen), Las Vegas
(Palms Casino Resort), Los Angeles (Tangier), Hollywood florida and Miami (Hoy Como
Ayer, O'Hara's), Nashville (12th and porter, Bluebird Cafe') and New York (The Bitter End, Crash Mansion), and
has inspired CSN alum's to support singers and songwriters with similar
spinoff showcases through the years. It's all an amazing testament to
that first CSN show in November of 1988. Minneapolis, Milwaukee launched in early 2005 at the Minnesota Music Cafe, and Carolines in Milwaukee with the amazing Alaria Taylor hosting.
The credit for CSN's success belongs to many people, all of whom give their time and music to create this special songfest. First and foremost is the team of people who keep the CSN tradition going strong in each city. The CSN Directors:
The CSN Bands: World-class musicians who create incredible music for and with
