The Tahoe Literary Festival concludes its first year with a Songwriters’ Showcase on Oct. 12 in Tahoe City, hosted by Will Richardson, executive director of Tahoe Institute for Natural Science(TINS). Location TBA.
This event brings together talented singer-songwriters offering a unique blend of music and storytelling. Featured artists include Megan Lacy, Aaron Oropeza who goes by a.v. ray and Taylor Murphy, alongside host and musician Richardson. Each artist will perform and share insights into their songwriting process; share examples of background, inspiration and process; and offer a rare glimpse into the creative journey behind their music.
Richardson is best known for his work with TINS but he has been playing music in various Tahoe bands since 1994. From 2017 until the pandemic in 2020, he hosted a series of songwriters’ showcases in Truckee and he is thrilled to be resurrecting the format for the inaugural Tahoe Literary Festival.
Lineup
Lacy captivates audiences with her soulful melodies and evocative lyrics, adding a heartfelt touch to the singer-songwriter scene. Oropeza blends raw emotion with intricate guitar work, creating a powerful and memorable experience for listeners. Murphy brings a fresh perspective with compelling lyrics and engaging performances.
The event is free to attend, but donations to support future literary events will be accepted. | TahoeLitFest.com
