Live in the Frontroom: Songwriters in the Round

Each month on the 1st Sunday of the Month,
in the FrontRoom at WCUW 91.3 FM - 910 Main Street Worcester Ma

Mama Kilsmith Presents a Special Songwriters Showcase featuring local Original Independent Artists.

This monthly FUNDRAISING event takes place in the FrontRoom of WCUW, Worcester MA Independent Non-Profit Community Radio Station.

Songwriters in the Round is made possible thanks to a team of volunteers.

About Our Event
“Songwriters-In-the-Round” (SITR) is a Round Robin Format Showcase of talented songwriters from Central Massachusetts and beyond.

The Showcase features three Artists who share the spotlight and perform alongside each other- sharing their music and the inspiration behind their work.
After the Showcase - We Break for intermission and welcome our Guest Speaker to the Stage. Guest speakers will share their technical knowledge and expertise on a topic related to music, and the music industry

After the Guest Speaker Wraps up their “Tech Talk” we begin our final segment of the event - Open Mic in the Round.

This Event Also includes a workshop discussion session with Q & A during our intermission.

Open Mic in the Round
A unique spin on a tried and true Event Format.
Each month we have the opportunity to invite up to 6 additional songwriters to participate in our show.

During our Open Mic in the Round we also encourage folks to workshop their new material. This is the perfect opportunity to ask peers for feedback on songs in progress on that don't quite feel complete.

The Vision of SITR Showcase and Open Mic
The Intention of this Monthly Showcase is to connect music lovers in the community with a variety of Songwriters from central Mass, and beyond.

We want to give local Songwriters the opportunity to have their music heard by an audience who will appreciate their talent and their creative works.

With this event we hope to foster connections and build bridges from city to city here in Worcester County and throughout New England.

We welcome all genres, and cultures of music - any and all types of Songwriters are invited to participate.

We invite anyone who appreciates original songs to attend these events - Spectators are welcome!
