First Drafts is all about giving original music a place to be heard.

There’s a lot of great original music being made right here in the Twin Cities, and we want to give it a place to be heard.

First Drafts brings three local singer-songwriters to the Barrel Room, each playing a 45-minute set of their own original music. It’s a chance to discover new artists, hear the stories behind the songs and support the people making music in our community.

Grab a seat, order some food + drinks and settle in for a night of music you probably haven’t heard before—straight from the people who wrote it.

Free to attend.

Wednesdays at Urban Growler in the Barrel Room
