This is the premiere weekly performance showcase/open mike in Los Angeles.  It's a place where the diverse talents of our creative community can be appreciated, and the craft of songwriting especially can be honored. Each week, we feature two of the finest up&coming writer/performers in LA in a relaxed casual atmosphere. There is no cover charge; however a $10 minimum on food or drink is requested, to help sustain the establishment.  And Cafe Bellissimo, in support of the Showcase, offers a generous 2-for-1 Songwriter Night Special, which makes an evening at the MSSS one of the best dining/entertainment values around. <br />
