Ugly Mug Cafe: Songwriters in the Round

December 3 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm PST

Part concert. Part conversation. Part recording session.

There’s something special about hearing a song just a few feet from the person who wrote it. Santa Cruz Sessions brings songwriters together in a relaxed coffeehouse setting to share their songs, the stories behind them, and the moments that happen when writers interact with one another.

Several writers take turns performing one song at a time. Between songs, they talk about where the songs came from, trade stories, and react to what they’re hearing from one another.

The music and conversation can take unexpected turns. A story might spark another story, or someone might spontaneously add a harmony or instrumental part. And each show is recorded, so you’ll be part of a live recording as it’s being made.

For the December 3 Session, Brock Davis, Michael Schoolcraft, Andy Barr and Amy Merrill will share the stage.

Hear great songs, stripped-down performances, and the stories behind the music.
