Parlor is a songwriter showcase with an improv twist! This musical game show features Alaskan songwriters paired with nationally touring artists to trade tunes, stories, and songwriting homework in the first half. After the intermission, tradition is cast aside as the musicians dive into collaborations, jocular inventions, and premeditated musings all based on written submissions from the audience.

In collaboration with Parlor in the Round, Denali Arts Council is hosting a youth song lyric writing competition. The winning entry will receive a scholarship and have their song performed by Parlor in the Round musicians during their performance on April 19th. The song lyrics must be submitted via email to michelle@denaliartscouncil.org no later than Friday, April 12th. If you have an idea for a melody, you are welcome to also submit a sound file with your lyrics.
