"Stories Sips + Songs is an evening of music, joy, community and connection - because we all need more nights just like that," creator and host Risa Binder shared. "Each songwriter performs their original work and tells the stories behind their songs and collaborations, while giving the audience a night of fantastic music in the Nashville round style. Casual and fun, we sip wine (or any drink, really!) and get to know both the writers and the audience by adding in a fun throwback question game in between songs."
