Songwriters Circle

“Songwriting is a very mysterious process. It feels like creating something from nothing. It is something I don’t feel I really control “– Tracy Chapman

Please join us for our very first Songwriters Circle!

Eight local songwriters presented in groups of four will be sharing and performing at least 5 of their original songs for this very special evening.

Musicians include: KJ Braithwaite, Eric Elison, Lindsay Facknitz, John Spengler, Jason Miller, Craig Walter, Jim Young, and John Hooton.

Songwriters Circles are unique in that it is just the writer and the song, no effects, no background instruments and so allowing you to focus on the actual story the songwriter is telling, and it is human nature to love a good story.

Guests get a peek at the inside scoop of the inspiration and process of songwriting.

Stargazers will be set up in a café listening room style. Artists will be in the center of the lower level, surrounded by tables for guests, versus the traditional artists on stage set up.

“Songwriting is my way of channeling my feelings and my thoughts. Not just mine, but the things I see, the people I care about. My head would explode if I didn’t get some of that stuff out.” – Dolly Parton

“My style of songwriting is influenced by cinema. I’m a frustrated film maker. A fan once said to me “Girl, you make me see pictures in my head” and I took that as a compliment- that’s exactly my intention.” -Joni Mitchel
