Join us for a special Songwriter Round — an intimate evening featuring four solo singer-songwriters trading songs and stories throughout the night. The artists will take turns performing original tunes, offering a mix of styles, perspectives, and personalities. It’s a relaxed, up-close format that lets the songs — and the stories behind them — shine. Expect variety, connection, and a fun night of great music.

Keith Beatty
Keith Beatty is a soulful Indianapolis-based singer-songwriter and guitarist whose music is deeply rooted in the sounds of Motown, classic soul, and timeless singer-songwriters. Blending nostalgic influences with his own heartfelt songwriting, he delivers performances filled with emotion and genuine connection. Whether on an intimate stage or a larger venue, Keith invites audiences on a musical journey through life, love, and the human experience.

Donn Smith
Donn Smith is a longtime Indianapolis singer-songwriter whose folk and roots music has made him a familiar presence throughout the local music community. Known for his warm performances and collaborative spirit, he spent many years organizing the Irving Theater’s weekly songwriter night, helping connect and support fellow musicians. Through his community-minded approach, Donn continues to bring people together through music.

Morgan Mikenas
Morgan Mikenas is from Valparaiso, IN and is a singer-songwriter, vocalist, keyboardist, voice teacher, and interactive performance artist who creates immersive musical experiences that invite audiences to participate. Blending original music with storytelling, movement, rhythm, and guided voice activities, her performances foster creativity, connection, and reflection. Through her work as a voice teacher and performer, Morgan helps audiences feel more engaged, expressive, and connected throughout the experience.

Lucy Holden
Lucy Holden is a singer/songwriter from Chicago. She travels around the country full-time, drawing lyrical inspiration from alpine hikes, canyon camping, and desert flowers. Her musical style is heavily influenced by her background of folk music, having grown up playing Irish tunes, attending Bluegrass festivals, and obsessing over Québécois foot-tapping fiddlers. She brings a multi-instrumental perspective to her music, often switching between guitar, mandolin, and violin during each performance. Her songs read like journal entries, honest and fluid, driven by percussive playing. Her first album will come out in August 2026.

Four writers. Four voices.
