Songwriters in the Round: Michael Logen, Elaine Lennon, James Edwyn

2019 Celtic Connections Danny Kyle Stage Winner Elaine Lennon will be joined by Nashville–based Grammy-Nominated recording artist and Grammy-Winning songwriter Michael Logen and lead singer of Glasgow sextet ‘James Edwyn & the Borrowed Band’ James Edwyn. This intimate ‘Songwriters Round’ experience will allow you to enjoy performances of songs by those who wrote them as well as interpretations of songs that have inspired them. Be prepared to laugh and (possibly) cry as they bare heart and soul sharing stories behind their own original songs.

A regular at Nashville’s ‘The Bluebird Café’, Michael Logen’s unique Americana sound has had him opening for such artists as John Hiatt, John Legend, Jonny Lang and India Arie. His songs can be heard on many popular shows including "Nashville" and "SUITS"... He has appeared on Radio’s Bob Harris' "Under The Apple Tree Sessions" and his songs have been recorded by artists like Sam Palladio, Clare Bowen, Kelly Clarkson, Paul Carrack, Will Hoge, Ashley Monroe, Jonny Lang, Mat Kearney, Sister Hazel …

"Logen performed songs he wrote with Maren Morris and for Kelly Clarkson, and the audience was gripped. As a solo songwriter or collaborator, whatever he’s doing he’s certainly doing it right." - Country Music Magazine UK.

"An album of beautifully crafted songs – well written, well sung, well played and very well produced." - Americana UK
