Writers in the Round is a songwriter-centered format where artists take turns sharing songs, talking about the craft, and giving listeners a deeper look into the creative process. It is not just a concert. It is a night built around songs, stories, connection, and the people who write them.

Come support original music, Montana songwriters, and the beginning of something new.
