Songwriter Club at the Jack Kerouac House is a series bringing national and international touring artists, as well as musician outreach to the historic home of Jack Kerouac, in St.Petersburg Florida. There are very limited seating and capacity for this songwriter listening room series, as the artists perform in Kerouac's living room with the audience seated in the living room, and additional seating stretching out into the enclosed patio. Please join us for a night of songs, and stories in this historic atmosphere.Steve Forbert&nbsp;“An introspective, homespun philosopher”&nbsp;- New York Times | Steve Forbert is a true American musical treasure, underscored by his 21 studio albums. They are saturated with what venerated rock journalist Robert Christgau discerned as his "omnivorously observant" songwriting, marked by Steve's gift for finding the more profound meaning and magic within everyday moments, as well as his abundant melodic and poetic enchantment.​&nbsp;Steve has released 21 studio albums featuring his songwriting gifts. His live shows are genuinely of the moment, yielding four live album releases on record labels, plus 14 more concert recordings available exclusively on his website. His oeuvre is further rounded out by a tribute album to his fellow Meridian native, country music founding father Jimmie Rodgers, Any Old Time (nominated for a Best Folk Album Grammy award); Steve's 2020 LP of interpretations of favorite songs by other talents that have inspired him, Early Morning Rain; and collections of outtakes and early recordings.Shawn Kyle&nbsp;Founder and Host of Songwriter Club, Shawn Kyle is a multiple Best of the Bay Award Winner and 14X SXSW Austin official showcasing artist; involved with both the Americana revival of the early 2000's and also the Psychedelic Rock and Garage scene of the 2010's.
