For The Sake of The Song is the brain child of Oklahoma/Nashville/Berlin transplant Patrick Coman. Gathering together great songwriters to either choose a songwriter to pay tribute to, organize an entire show around one songwriter, or play an entire record front to back are just a few of the incredible things that he has organized over the past four years of this series' existence. Now he is taking the show on the road again to show the folks of the country what this is all about. Do NOT miss this. It's going to be a great show (all of 'em!). Read on for the more official release and information on the happenings of this great event...

The For the Sake of the Song Roadshow is a touring concert series

greatest influences alongside their own material. Join the series founder, Patrick
Coman, and fellow songwriters John Colvert and Greg Klyma on Wednesday, October 9th at
Club Passim in Cambridge for a night of homage, discussion, storytelling, and,

“As the founder and chief
organizer of For the Sake of the Song, Coman has done the seemingly unthinkable
by reinventing cover songs into something fresh and novel.” -Weekly Dig,
Boston
The trio will perform in-the-round, each representing an artist
that has had a profound effect on their own songwriting. Coman (Townes
Van Zandt), Colvert (Ryan Adams),
and Aanestad (Ray Charles) will share
a personal, in-depth look at their songwriting, and discuss how their

The For the Sake of the
Song concert series was founded by Americana singer/songwriter Patrick Coman in
2009 when he relocated to Boston after stints in Nashville and Berlin, Germany.
Over the past four years it has grown from its humble begins as a house concert
series to a monthly residency and live taping at Boston’s legendary Johnny D’s.
The traveling Roadshow has been hosted at premier venues throughout the
Northeast like the Jalopy Theatre (Brooklyn, NY), Iron Horse Music Hall
(Northampton, MA), and World Café Live (Wilmington, DE).
