✨🎶Round three with my favorite songwriters (& hecklers)🎶✨

Art, Tracy, Severin, John, Ken, Craig, Kevin

Hi friends,

I’m excited to tell you that In the Big Round is coming back to Boulevard Music for round three, and I’d love for you to be there. 

If you haven’t heard about this show, it started as a private songwriting circle among a bunch of friends. Somehow it turned into a public thing, with sold-out nights at the Boulevard Music, McCabe’s (twice!), Coffee Gallery Backstage (twice!) and at Severin Browne’s First Friday. We take turns sharing original songs and the stories behind them, and we sing harmony on each other’s tunes. We also give each other a hard time the whole way through. I promise the audience gets the best of both.

I get to share the stage with some of my favorite people:

 

Tracy Newman, singer-songwriter and TV writer/producer, who won an Emmy and a Peabody for co-writing the “coming out” episode of Ellen

Art Podell, a founding member of The New Christy Minstrels, whose songs have been recorded by The Smothers Brothers, Ann Murray and many others

Severin Browne, former Motown artist and staff songwriter, with a clear voice and finely crafted songs

Craig “Linc” Lincoln, whose songs are wry and thoughtful, with some tasty acoustic guitar to go with them

Ken Holme, who writes quirky, funny songs about everything from big cats to the temporarily confused

Kevin Kelso, our newcomer, who writes story songs about everything from the Irish potato famine to a love song for a Roomba

And me - I’ve had a sold out show myself at McCabe’s, as well as at Namba and our beloved Coffee Gallery Backstage.  This is our last show of 2026 and it’s always a blast. I hope you can join us.
