The 9 Songwriter Series was created in 2008 by DC-based singer-songwriter, Justin Trawick, as a way for he and his friends to play in bigger rooms and in front of more people. Ten years later, The 9 now is a monthly event happening in many major venues across the country.

The idea is simple: by working together we can accomplish more than working separately.

The 9 is made up primarily of Singer-Songwriters and on occasion has bands. We strongly recommend attending a 9 show to give you a better idea of the flow and vibe.

Due to an overwhelming response on social media, we've put together a short survey for interested musicians to apply for future shows. Please fill out all of the information below. If you're a good fit for a future show, we will be in touch.
