The heart of The Real Songwriters of Melbourne is our Community.
Our Community features songwriters of all ages, genres, genders, backgrounds and experience levels and we are proud that our Community has welcomed hundreds of songwriters across metro Melbourne, regional Victoria, interstate and overseas.
RSOM Celebrate is our chance to celebrate the diversity, growth and talent within our community as well as acknowledge songwriters in our community who not only are making a mark within their own careers, but who are making an impact in the live music industry.
Stay tuned for details on our 2024 EOY Awards Presentation.
