"SONGWRITERS IN THE ROUND"
Hosted by Craig Carothers, with guests

Tim Ellis
7:30 p.m. | $10 | All ages
In this special event, Nashville's own Craig Carothers will gather with other local musicians to play "in the round," a tradition that goes a long way back. The singer-songwriters will sit in a circle and will discuss their lyrics and share the stories behind their original compositions. It's a truly intimate and old-time way to experience the music. Come early for dinner and drinks in the Courtyard Restaurant or Cyrpress Room before taking your seat in the Gym.
CRAIG CAROTHERS
As a singer-songwriter, Craig Carothers has played nightclubs and concerts from Los Angeles to Stockholm for the last 20 years.He has shared the stage with more than 100 acts including Mose Allison, Jonatha Brooke, Bruce Cockburn, Paula Cole, Ry Cooder, Crash Test Dummies, Donovan, Robben Ford, John Hiatt, Leo Kottke, Patty Larkin, Little Feat, Little River Band, Michael McDonald, Anne Murray, Boz Skaggs, Toad The Wet Sprocket, Richard Thompson, Jethro Tull, Loudon Wainright III and Warren Zevon.
Points of moderate interest: Carothers received the Portland Music Association's Crystal Award for both "Best Folk Act" and "Best Single." In the fall of 1995, he signed a publishing contract with Nashville-based Crossfire Entertainment/Almo Irving Music about the same time MCA Country recording artist Trisha Yearwood recorded his song "Little Hercules." That same year, Carothers was a winner at both the Napa Valley Music Festival's Emerging Songwriter Showcase and the Austin Songwriters Contest. Since then Kathy Mattea and Lorrie Morgan have also recorded his songs.
"...the right mix of weary-eyed cynicism and helpless hearted romanticism..." - Performing Songwriter Magazine
"He has a voice that should be famous." - Patty Larkin
