This gives STF and the playwright an opportunity to explore and try to figure out what these moments can be.

"You wind up creating from silence, like painting a picture on a blank canvas that could bring tears to somebody's eyes. As songwriters, our blank canvas is silence. Then we write a song from an idea that can change somebody's life. Songwriting is the closest thing to magic that we could ever experience. That's why I love songwriting." ~ Rodney Atkins
Join local singer-songwriters on a journey where they unveil the inspiration that filled their blank canvas of silence. Tickets can be purchased for $10 at the Habit.
