In The Round

Full-circle storytelling of musicians and their music. In the Round is dedicated to highlighting musicians on their music journey. Whether they are local, regional, or touring coast to coast, they all have great stories to tell. We want to go beyond the expected stories and hear about all the other stories. The funny stories. The heartwarming stories. The unfortunate lows and riding high. Let’s get to get to know the artists in a different light, not just the limelight. And no story is well told without the music that was born from the journey. We will discuss and play some current work but will be just as likely to dig up some obscure work and take it for a listen as well. Ride along as we conduct full-circle interviews and uncover some unexpected stories of musicians and their music.

Joel Sires is proudly a man without a plan. Influenced by John Prine, The Beatles, and ‘60s one-hit wonders, he let the music guide him into a sound that’s uniquely Joel – a collection of achingly beautiful, folk-led songs, some laced with humor and others observational. Having played since he was young with his ragtag yet highly talented group of brothers and cousins, Joel cut his teeth by gigging consistently and cranking out new songs every show. All those hours of practice and experience paid off, developing him into the salt-of-the-earth songwriter he is today. Stick around after the chat to hear a snip of Joel’s new song “Any Pair of Eyes” recorded live at Trilix Studio.
