CIRCLE UP! LIVE

Get live feedback from your songwriting peers on new works or other songs that you have written. Hosted by Don Strong for the Songwriters Circle, Twin Cities.

CIRCLE UP! is our monthly event where songwriters are invited to present their songs or works-in-progress (live or recorded). This takes place in a supportive setting with peers. Songwriters who work in all song styles and genres are welcome (i.e. singer-songwriter, rock, pop, folk, country, R&B, alternative, etc).

The SONGWRITERS CIRCLE / Twin Cities is a friendly group of pro, aspiring and "seasoned" Twin Cities songwriters, who meet monthly to perform & share our original songs. We do this for fun, constructive feedback and to develop our craft as writers/performers. Similar to the member "working meetings" of the Songwriters Guild in New York, we conduct our gatherings in a relaxed, supportive and positive format.
Feel free to bring friends for support and audience. Thanks for your support! Looking forward to seeing YOU there!

What Songwriter Circle members are saying about this Meetup Group:
"This is a tremendous resource for people who want to work on their songwriting. There is a lot of knowledge in the room but also respect for writers being "where they are at" in the development of their songs. Don tries hard and succeeds in creating an atmosphere that mixes thoughtful, honest feedback with compassion for those working through their particular creative process. There is also a feel to the room from artists willing to open up their work for examination. It takes courage, and this group respects that courage. Thanks for letting me share that!" -B.V.
"I thoroughly enjoyed my first Songwriters Circle meet up. Never had this much fun in a grocery store before. The players were top notch, and the comments were honest and helpful. Pleased and proud to be a new member!" -T.F.
"I think this group is as closely tied to the true purpose of music as anything I've been a part of. Thank you for making it happen. " -J.D.

There is a $5. suggested donation for each attendee for the Circle Up! meetings.
