During the “in-the-round” performances, three to four songwriters take the stage together and each takes turns performing an original song. After all, have performed, the “round” will start over with the first artist performing again, until each artist has performed around 4 to 5 songs each. This format allows for a rare look into the stories behind the songs in an intimate setting.
