Musicians in the Round

Every Thursday from 6-8:30pm - Urban Orchard hosts Musicians in the Round - a unique collaborative music event featuring songwriters and musicians performing in a round robin style. Sign-up begins at 5:30pm for those who want to participate. This format creates an intimate listening room atmosphere where performers share both original material and covers - taking turns in rotation so each musician serves as both performer and audience member.
