Residency London, UK, June 16, 2008- Mark Aaron James, critically
acclaimed singer/songwriter
and recording artist from New York City, has begun a monthly series at the
award winning HALO venue.
Each “Mark Aaron James’ in the Roundâ€ð will feature a professional
hit songwriter, two “up and comingâ€ð songwriters and Mr. James as
host. The first version of
the night, held in a different venue, featured Kristy Jackson, writer of
Reba McEntire’s #1 US hit, “Take it Backâ€ð. The upcoming event at HALO on July
10th, will feature John Peppard, co-writer of the #1 Garth
Brooks and Tricia Yearwood duet, “In Another’s
Eyes.â€ð “In the Roundâ€ð performances are
the most popular way to hear songwriters in Nashville, a city renowned for
its music craftsmen and one of
Mark’s former hometowns.
During these shows, four songwriters are seated in the center of
the room, facing each other in a circle. The audience is seated around
them. Each of the writers
takes a turn singing one of their songs in a clockwise rotation. Often, the writers will chime in
with harmonies or instruments on each other’s songs. The process encourages the writers
to discuss the writing process while introducing songs and to collaborate
during performances, recreating the campfire experience found at folk
festivals and house concerts.
With the artists sitting among them, the audience is treated to a
far more intimate show than the standard writer’s
night. Mark Aaron James’ entire
performance schedule can be found at
