Songwriters gather in Tulsa for a night of music and sharing

Every year, Tulsa’s music scene gets a boost with a special event called the songwriters round. This year, it’s happening at the Church Studio on July 17. Unlike big concerts, this event is all about the artists themselves—not flashy stages or huge crowds. It’s a chance for musicians to sit down, play a few tunes, and talk about what inspires their work. The Church Studio isn’t just any recording space. It’s a place with a long history in music, known for helping artists find their sound. Past performers here have gone on to do great things, making it a spot with plenty of stories. For the musicians taking part, this event is more than a gig—it’s a way to connect with others who love music just as much.Some of the songs played might be familiar, while others could be brand new. Either way, the event lets the artists share their own twist on their music. It’s not about perfection; it’s about the raw, unfiltered moments that make songwriting special. For the audience, it’s a rare chance to hear the stories behind the songs. This kind of gathering isn’t just for the performers. Fans who love live music get to see a different side of their favorite artists. No heavy production, no over-the-top sets—just music and conversation. It’s a reminder that songs often start small, with just a voice and an instrument.
