Songs In The Round - Frank Fiction, Jacob Moon, Sandra Bouza

Songs In The Round returns to Crown & Press on March 19—an intimate, Bluebird-inspired evening where three artists trade original songs and stories. The audience sits close on all sides, watching the musical conversation unfold in real time and becoming part of the exchange through reactions, laughs, and the odd gut-punch.

This month features:

The regular host of Songs In The Round, Frank Fiction is the new project from Juno Award–winning songwriter Elias Dummer (frontman of The City Harmonic). Performing unreleased alt-folk songs and a few sideways covers, he draws from two decades of quietly crafted material.
His writing leans into vulnerability and a crooked smile, echoing Jason Isbell, Rufus Wainwright, Andy Shauf, and John Prine. With 100M+ streams and multiple Billboard-charting singles behind him, this project steps into something looser, grounded, and deeply human.

Sandra Bouza is a roots soul singer-songwriter whose powerful, nuanced voice draws inevitable comparisons to Etta James and Amy Winehouse — though her sound is entirely her own. A Toronto Blues Society Talent Search winner who has represented Canada at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Bouza spent three years performing across Morocco and Europe before returning to Canada to record music that Billboard called spellbinding. Her songs are lyric-driven and unflinching, shaped by a life lived across three continents.

Jacob Moon is a Hamilton-based folk-pop singer-songwriter whose fingerpicking and soulful voice draw comparisons to Paul Simon, James Taylor, and Jackson Browne. A ten-album veteran with award-winning original songs, Moon built an international following through inventive live performances that earned him standing ovations from Rush, an opening slot for Gordon Lightfoot, and a devoted audience across Canada and Europe..

Born from Frank’s decade in Nashville and the ethos of the Bluebird Café, Songs In The Round is a stripped-back concert where three artists share the stage at once—taking turns sharing original songs (or songs they wish they'd written!), responding to each other, and letting their songs breathe.

These nights tend to sell out. If you want a seat in the room, don’t wait.
