​What is Playlist Storytellers?

​Songs help us time travel. They have the power to transport us back to the exact sights, smells and emotions of a memory.

​Playlist Storytellers is a unique live storytelling show where five talented storytellers share personal stories about the songs that marked key moments in their lives. Each song is played after the story is told to help you experience what the storyteller felt.

​It doesn’t matter what a song is about, what matters is what it means to us. We never forget the songs that made us feel something.

​Playlist Storytellers is about connecting through music and discovering new layers in songs you may (or may not) know.
