Just about every month a group of musicians gets together to share new songs and workshop them. It is always open to everyone, but this month, it is part of the SxSD festival. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or brand new to songwriting, you are welcome to be a part of a great group of people.
Musicians that will be playing at the all day show on Saturday will be in attendance. Maybe they will talk songwriting; maybe they will just sit back and judge everybody. Who knows?
Here is our normal invite:

Comedy at the AV with Tyler Walsh
2023-06-24 19:00 - 21:30 (America/Chicago)
With a dip in his lip and a glint in his eye, Tyler Walsh has quickly emerged as a unique, singular comedic voice in the Midwest and beyond. He has traded in rodeo clown barrels and donkey basketball games for stages alongside Larry the Cable Guy and the like. This son of Iowa, born in Mapleton rural, made in Dayton, takes his unique experiences and makes them relatable to crowds of any persuasion. His slow drawn yet sharp sense of observation reels people in from urban rooms to grain bins. From stages in Paris (TX) to one near you, Tyler will leave you saying you saw him when.
