Songbird Cafe Features Local Songwriters In Intimate Listening Environment

Brad Blackburn

Songbird Café is a local St. Louis production which features songwriters playing and sharing stories about their own music and an audience intent on listening in an intimate environment.

Steve St. Cyr, a recently retired accountant, is the organizer and producer of Songbird Café, which for the past year, takes place at the Focal Point in Maplewood on an almost monthly basis.

St. Cyr got the inspiration for his project from the Bluebird Café in Nashville, Tennessee – a listening room which has launched the career of several well-known music artists.

Host Steve Potter talked with Steve St. Cyr and guitarist/vocalist Kip Loui.  Loui is a local musician who has performed in many area bands and currently with the classic country trio Lookout Joe and The High Dives.

Kip Loui (as pictured) was part of the inaugural Songbird Café performance and again this past October.
