About
Join area singer-songwriters for a unique acoustic musical experience with the final Songwriters in the Round concert of 2024 at the St. Mane Theatre! On Saturday, October 5th at 7 pm, audience members will be immersed into this intimate concert setting, where local and regional musicians will share their original songs, along with the inspirations and stories behind them!
Each concert in this three part series is presented in a Nashville-style round robin format, which removes the usual distractions of a normal gig, and allows the audience to be drawn into the emotional heart of each song. The first Songwriters in the Round concert took place on Saturday, April 27th, and the second took place on Saturday, June 29th.
Tickets for Songwriters in the Round on October 5th are $20 ($15 Lanesboro Arts Members).
For those who are curious about the songwriting process, each Songwriters in the Round concert will also offer a paired Songwriting Workshop led by one of the night’s performers. Register to participate for only $5. No experience necessary. More information on October 5th’s workshop to come!
