Songwriters Rising is a monthly gathering featuring local songwriters, original music, and conversation to encourage a new and fun way of connecting with live music and each other. Every 3rd Friday 8-11pm at Bynx Orlando. Tickets are by donation, but not required. Songwriters Rising evolves from the traditional format of the songwriter listening room concert (where the performer gives and the audience takes) and shift towards a new way of experiencing story and song that involves participation and exchange from both artist and listener. At Bynx, you can expect a space where live music is a mutually active experience for audience and artist. Where the listener feels like they are a part of the artistic experience rather than a passive observer. To become a part of the celestial body rather than remaining the astronomer. This month we are exploring the universes of: Elliott Countess (instagram.com/mcxqbz) Amelia Reed Bryant FROM LA feat.

Though we are stars that seem so distant from one another, we make up one mysterious, complicated, beautiful constellation. ___________________________________________ "The experience of 'otherness' is essential to our growth and health as intellectual, emotional, and spiritual beings. It’s pleasurable to enjoy good music, but it also enriches our lives to have our deepest hopes, darkest pains, and greatest victories validated by another."
