21st annual Music in the Round hosted by the Short North Rotary! JOIN US for our premier Columbus event / evening! MITR XVIII benefits many amazing causes!

A magical evening of original music where every penny netted goes to amazing local and international causes. This is our 18th annual Music in the Round ("MITR"), as we continue an intimate journey through local music! Think of the old VH1's Story Tellers where the artists share their stories behind their original songs in an unplugged setting. The evening showcases the talented singer-songwriters, who take turns sharing their music surrounded by the audience. The artists often find themselves in awe of the intimacy of the event, and their raw emotions are shared. Each year, Music in the Round features a special selection of unique talent. Past participants include Taylor (Caamp), Jesse Henry (Spike Drivers), Colin Gawel (Watershed, Colin Gawel & the Lonely Bones), Happy Chichester (Royal Crescent Mob, Howlin' Maggie), Marti Dodson (Saving Jane, Union Rose) and many, many more. Here is the list of each year's performers. MITR XVII
