Join us for an evening of connection, creativity, and craft at Songsmith Community Sessions, an elevated open mic experience designed to honor the voices and songs of our local music and poetry community. Hosted by Christina Chandler, this series invites songwriters, storytellers, and musicians of all stripes to share their work on a stunning stage in one of the region’s most beautiful listening rooms. With rich, intimate sound, and perfectly tuned acoustics, The Great Hall provides a space where every note, word, and emotion can truly be heard and felt. Whether you’re taking the mic or just soaking it all in, Songsmith Community Sessions is about more than performance — it’s about belonging, inspiration, and the magic that happens when we gather to create and experience music together.

Flowing effortlessly between folk, soul, Americana, and rock ’n’ roll, she blends genres with a rich, buttery voice, nimble fingers on a red Telecaster Thinline or Seagull Acoustic, and a tambourine strapped to her boot. As a performer, she funnels youthful energy and a lifetime of earned wisdom through a voice that feels far bigger than its container. Whether belting out poetic, soulful originals or reinventing a beloved cover, this one-woman-band is a full live music experience, and the perfect guide for a night of authentic expression and connection.
