The Travelin’ Round is a recurring, touring showcase series that adopts the Nashville-style “Songwriter’s Round” format with an interview twist. For each locale it visits, The Travelin’ Round builds a lineup of the finest local songwriting talent.
The concept is simple: Four talented songwriters take the stage together, trading songs and sharing the stories behind them. Host Brent Funkhouser periodically chimes in with curated questions to give the audience a peak behind the curtain.
The result is an intimate look at the songwriting process and each writer’s identity as a songwriter and as an individual.
