I've wanted to play this event for years because it's just so cool, and this year I got the call. This is the premier singer-songwriter event in the city (in my opinion). The location; the sound; the cause behind it and the host, the Short North Rotary...all 10's. I'll be joined by three other singer-songwriters -- George Barrie, Jessie Roman and Simba Jordan -- and we'll take turns swapping songs and stories all night.
Here's what the organizers say about the event: "Music in the Round is a unique concert format that originated in Nashville’s Bluebird Cafe and grew organically from the traditional jam session. The only rule: the artists must play songs they’ve written themselves, on the instruments on which they were written.
Music in the Round audiences get to hear the artists talk about their songwriting, particularly the stories and emotions surrounding the song’s creation. It’s a treat for music lovers featuring some of the most talented musicians Columbus has to offer."
If you only go to one of these kind of shows this year, make it this one.
