Songwriters Rising feat. Hannah Stokes, Haden Jex, Ishamali, Meg Elliott

Songwriters Rising is a monthly gathering featuring local songwriters, original music, and interactive games/creative activities/prompts to encourage a new and fun way of connecting with live music and each other. Every 3rd Friday 8-11pm at Bynx Orlando.

This month we are exploring the universes of:
Meg Elliott (https://www.instagram.com/swamp_kitty_/)
Ishamali (https://www.mymindfulgarden.com/music)
Haden Jex FROM ST PETE (https://www.instagram.com/hadenjex/)
and Hannah Stokes (www.hannahstokesmusic.com/)

This month’s featured activity is a live drawing/active listening activity. Art supplies will be provided for each audience member to express themselves in response to the music whichever way they feel led to.

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.

Come prepared to enjoy a meaningful night of community, music, and expression whether you are by yourself or making plans with friends!

Though we are stars that seem so distant from one another, we make up one mysterious, complicated, beautiful constellation.
