RSOM is turning 12 and to celebrate, we are bringing back our much loved showcase to the Bergy Bandroom on Saturday May 2.

This special afternoon event will feature four members of the RSOM community, each representing a different corner of Melbourne’s diverse songwriting landscape.

RSOM welcomes…George Charra, Marćela Ljutic, NJ Rijs and the premiere of new progressive pop rock duo So…

Throughout its history, RSOM showcases have provided emerging artists with the opportunity to perform their original music to new audiences. From the Paris Cat Jazz Club to the Workers Club and Wesley Anne, RSOM now returns to the much-loved Bergy Bandroom for another afternoon celebrating original live music.

In 2026, the showcase has also evolved into more than just a performance. Participating songwriters are involved in the process behind presenting the show, creating a hands-on collaborative experience that helps artists better understand what goes into building a successful live event.

Songwriters, music lovers and supporters of Melbourne’s live music scene are invited to come along and experience another fantastic afternoon of original live music.
