About Us

An unquenchable thirst for great songwriting combined with a love for the vessels who bring them to life – the songwriters – is the driving force behind ON THE TRACKS Songwriter Showcase. It was founded to bring our favorite writers to our neck of the woods by providing a venue to showcase their incredible gifts.

What makes this series unique is our focus on the songwriting. Our featured performers will be sharing insight into their inspirations and methods, the practical and magical process by which their songs come to life. You’ll hear lots of great songs of course, but you’ll also learn a little something about the art and craft of songwriting.

Concerts are held at the Historic Chelsea Depot
located at 125 Jackson St, Chelsea, MI

Let’s Hear it for the Volunteers!*

The lifeline of our series are the volunteers who do the work making sure you have a seat to sit in, make yummy treats to eat and drink, take your donations, sell artist merch, run the sound and more… If you’re interested in helping out, email onthetracksss@gmail.com.
