Description: Can you believe it’s almost December already!?  Well, the Triple Door box office can. So you may want to purchase tickets soon… once we announce the 2 secret headliners on Nov 29… this will most likely sell out fast!   The holiday show is always a beautiful time with tons of alumni from the year and usually a big finale with the audience involved… plus this show benefits the arts programs at the Abbey!
So dust off your ugly holiday sweaters or fancy holiday dresses/coats and grab a friend…  We love to see you in winter finery or bizarrery at this party.  {This show is a benefit for the Fremont Abbey’s arts education programs}

An intimate evening of music, art, and poetry where three singer/songwriters share the stage with slam poets and live painters.  The Round invites artists to share their craft in a unique and intimate setting.  Putting a spotlight on collaboration and community, the Round has created an event that is as inspiring to the artists as it is the audience.

Musicians: Damien Jurado, Jesse Sykes & other artists from 2009’s Rounds
Improv band: Emily Peterson (cello), Scott Teske (bass), Lacey Brown (drums)
Poets: Buddy Wakefield & special guests
Artists: Siolo Thompson

Founded by Arts Curator Nathan Marion in 2005, The Round developed into a volunteer powered "arts experience" every month on a Monday or Tuesday night in Seattle (and now expanding to Tacoma, Portland, Austin, and Lebanon, PA).  What began as 3 musicians sharing the stage has developed into a multi-arts event with live painters and slam poets joining up to 6 or 7 musicians for a night of arts that will never be replicated. The Round has provided many firsts over its 50 months, including young poets or painters performing for their first time ever in front of an audience, singers collaborating on songs to create unique renditions, and much more.  Past rounds have featured everyone from David Bazan, Robin Pecknold (Fleet Foxes), Mark Pickerel and Jen Wood to slam poet champs like Danny Sherrard, Karen Finneyfrock, Tara Hardy and Matt Gano alongside painters like Emily Leonard (Nashville), Christen Mattix and Kate Protage. www.theround.org
