What is a "Writers' Round?" It's a singer-songwriter event in which all writers take the stage at the same time to perform "in the round." A Nashville tradition, the in-the-round format encourages the sharing of songs, stories, lyrics, and music, as each performer can be backed by the others on stage. Plus, it allows for the audience to have an up-close-and-personal look at how hit tunes and soon-to-be hit tunes were created.

$10 cover.
