SINGERS IN THE ROUND brings you the freshest take on a Nashville-style songwriters circle, but combines it as a livestream music showcase. Based in Detroit, MI, you'll see and hear the best up and coming Singer/Songwriters from not only Motown, but from all over. The songwriters in-the-round experience allows the songwriters to not just tell the stories behind their songs on stage, but interact wi
th other songwriters on stage giving audiences a truly unique “up close and personal” feel with a heightened chance of spontaneous improvisation. The classic format of "a round" has four to five songwriters on stage. One performs a song, followed by the next writer, and the next, and so on for usually 4 rounds. Each songwriter can join in with the others, add harmonies, contribute a guitar riff and/or just listen. Writers talk about how and why they wrote the songs, and there are always lively stories and interaction between the writers. Your hosts MATTHEW KYSIA & YORG STORMRUNNER, both distinguished Detroit native songwriters, will showcase alongside other premier songwriters for a FREE show once a month being held at OTUS SUPPLY in Ferndale, MI. "Besides the main objective to create better public exposure to these writers' music, Singers in the Round is also exposing songwriters to other songwriters. You're essentially building a community of musicians that didn't previously exist because of a musical handshake on stage, and Community is a powerful thing" ~ Co-Founder Matthew Kysia describing the ambition of Singers in the Round
