Playlist Storytellers explores the second life of songs
We’re a live show where four music fans share 10 minute stories about the songs that marked important moments in their life. After each story is told, the song plays for the audience.
Playlist Storytellers happens every other month in Toronto.
Our Theory
We believe that every song has two lives.
There’s the life before the song is released which involves the artists who worked on the song, the inspiration for the song and the environment they were in. The second life starts after it’s released to the public which involves the way the song shows up in our lives.
Playlist Storytellers is all about exploring the second life through memorable stories told by music fans.
