In the Strauss Black Box Theatre at the Kirkwood Performing Arts Center

Experience an unforgettable evening of music, storytelling, and original songs at the KPAC Songwriters Round featuring Ben Gage, Lo Stone, and Austin Grimm.

Modeled after the songwriter circles made famous in Nashville's legendary listening rooms, this intimate concert brings three accomplished singer-songwriters together on one stage. They take turns performing original music, sharing the stories behind their songs, and occasionally joining one another throughout the evening. It's a relaxed, conversational format that gives audiences a rare look into the songwriting process.

Hailing from Akron, Ohio, Ben Gage is an acclaimed Americana artist whose music blends folk, blues, and heartfelt storytelling shaped by years of touring throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe.

Based in St. Louis, Lo Stone writes soulful, melodic indie-folk songs filled with honesty, warmth, and emotional depth.

St. Louis singer-songwriter Austin Grimm, former frontman of Roots of a Rebellion, combines folk, soul, reggae, and Americana into songs inspired by family, nature, and everyday life.

Whether you're a fan of acoustic music or simply enjoy great songwriting, this Nashville-style Songwriters Round offers an engaging evening of outstanding music and the stories that inspired it.
