Songwriters' Circle
An Evening by the Fire
The Experience
Three or four Nashville- and Jacksonville-area songwriters sit around a bonfire on 246 acres and take turns playing the songs they wrote and telling the stories behind them. No stage. No setlist. No amplification. Just the fire, the songs, and the night sky over the St. Marys River.
The songwriter’s circle format is intimate by design. Each artist plays a song, then passes it to the next. Between rounds, they talk about where the song came from, the line that almost got cut, the three-hour drive where the melody showed up. The audience is close enough to see the fret hand.
Farm-to-table appetizers and drinks are served around the fire. The vibe is somewhere between a house concert and a front-porch jam session that happens to feature professional songwriters.
This experience is available as a standalone evening event, as an add-on for retreat groups and wedding weekends, or as a private booking for groups of 8–30.
