Description
Curated and Hosted by Noah Smith 🤘
Crooner Circus is a long-standing songwriter showcase and creative community based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Curated by touring artist and award winning songwriter Noah Smith, the show has featured over 300 original artists including Grammy nominated, award winning, and international performers. What started as a grassroots round in the corner of a local taproom has grown into a trusted regional platform for emerging voices and seasoned pros alike.
Held on the third Thursday of every month, Crooner Circus is a rotating lineup of 6 to 9 songwriters, each sharing their original music, stories behind the songs, and the heart that keeps them writing. From intimate listening-room vibes to packed-out bar nights, the show thrives on connection between artists, fans, and the cities we visit.
In addition to the monthly series, Noah Smith’s Crooner Circus Songwriter Festival returns for its second year on December 6th at the legendary Southgate House Revival, bringing together over 40 songwriters across multiple stages in a celebration of songcraft and storytelling.
Crooner Circus isn’t just another show it’s a movement, with a strong social media presence, content strategy, and brand that helps host venues grow their audience and build new relationships with the music community.
