The
Brooklyn Songwriters Exchange is a monthly music series held at Union
Hall in Park Slope. Our mission is to create a supportive and rewarding
environment for songwriters. We showcase the best in local talent plus
the occasional touring artist.|

The Brooklyn Songwriters Exchange is sponsored by BMI which allows us to keep shows 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.
