Songwriters in the Round #68

Turn, Turn, Turn

Returns to the Hallberg Center for the Arts

The Songwriters in the Round Series is proudly sponsored by the Hallberg Family Foundation

The twist is a departure from three individual songwriters to a highly popular group - Turn Turn Turn taking the Sunset Schooner Stage at the Hallberg Center at 7pm.

Turn Turn Turn is a trio who bonded over their mutual love of close harmony 60s and 70s country, folk, and pop music and formed an original Americana band. To create their distinctive sound, the band “turns” to the distant past of early American recorded music, “turns” again to that renaissance of the 1960s and 1970s, and finally “turns” again to the present looking forward.

Members Adam Levy (guitar, vocals), Savannah Smith (guitar, vocals) and Barb Brynstad (bass, vocals) are all mainstays of the Minnesota music scene and together craft an infectious, pop-infused Americana.  Even though Turn Turn Turn was born as a cover band, the group's original material – sweetheart alt-country folk-pop  – quickly stole the spotlight.

Turn Turn Turn’s Laurel Canyon meets 70's-Nashville-cosmic soul vibe is layered with three-part harmonies that stitch the band’s musical tapestry together. Brynstad, Smith, and Levy have distinct voices, and the combination – a “fourth voice” – is greater than the sum of its parts.

Adam Levy is a singer-songwriter, educator and social activist. He’s released dozens of records with numerous projects, namely The Honeydogs, Turn Turn Turn, Bunny Clogs and solo work. He’s toured internationally, produced numerous records, taught kids history and social studies, taught songwriting to prison inmates, and been an advocate for mental health. He lost his son in 2012 to suicide. He has two adult daughters who love music and social sciences & 3 cats.
