Tiny Tent Show • Episode 19
Blue Canvas Orchestra presents Songwriter Circle!
This week we've got several of the BCO's Songwriters coming together in a round robin of original songs. Severin Behnen, Molly Otis, Corey Carlson and Ed Willett share some of their favorite and latest songs, many of which still have that "new song freshness" having been written within a few days of the recording. The song topics range from the universal theme of love to the current global health crisis.
This BCO quartet of songwriters and band leaders come from wildly diverse musical roots but thanks to the Big Top, meet in our midst every summer. Their writing experiences range from those of Dr. Severin Behnen, who received his PhD in composition from UCLA and writes for orchestras, Jazz ensembles and Tango ensembles to those of recording artist Molly Otis who churns out beautifully haunting and driving tunes and is our resident example of someone who actually made it through the "mote of alligators" to get a major record company deal. Then we have our most prolific songwriter who knocks it out of the park every time, the wildly talented Corey Carlson to Ed Willett the USC trained classical musician gone rouge.
Episode 19 is Presented by Maggie's Restaurant
Tiny Tent Show is also supported by Brownstone Rx • Ehlers & Pierce CPAs, Inc. • Midland Services, Inc. • Myra Ehnert • Peggy & Sheldon Goldberg • Sandy & Dick Olson • Jim & Joy Perry • Lulich Implement, Inc. • Washburn Hardware & Sport

Times like these call for connection, music, and the familiar faces of those we hold dear. What we need is a little inspiration from our Blue Canvas Orchestra! Please join Big Top Chautauqua Friday Nights for our Tiny Tent Show live on Facebook and YouTube at 7pm. Soon after, we will post across all of our social networks.
The show is hosted by Wisconsin author Michael Perry, featuring members of the Blue Canvas Orchestra in their living rooms. Let's keep the "social" in social distancing! We are excited to gather to create music together in new ways and share some big love from the Big Top!

We are so grateful that our Tiny Tent Show has been embraced by fans of Big Top and the Blue Canvas Orchestra as we all stay closer to home and try to keep our families healthy. We launched the first show on April 3rd for what we thought would be a 6-week run. Here we are in week 19. Through your support we have paid over $20,000 to our musicians and TTS creative team. This money has come from our amazing sponsors and all of your generous donations. To keep Tiny Tent Show going, we are setting another goal of $10,000. For now, the shows continue weekly, and we have some very special programs scheduled with the BCO live from the tent stage. After August 21, we will let you know what the schedule will look like going forward. Who said Big Top would have no shows? They're just coming to you instead of you coming to the shows this year. Thank you for helping to keep the Tiny Tent Show virtual programs sustainable through your contributions as we strive to offer quality entertainment and connection with members of our Big Top Family!
