Songs from the Trail is a multi-media “In the Round,” exploration of long-distance backpacking and thru-hiking life. Songwriters Bryan Titus, Marc Apostolides and Shawn Taylor share original songs and the stories from their collective thru-hikes and long-distance hikes on the Appalachian Trail, the Long Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail and the John Muir Trail. With three distinctly different musical styles and perspectives, “Songs from the Trail” is as unique and eclectic as the journeys it explores. Authentic trail relics and a running slide show of decades of their journeys pull the trail into the room. It’s an immersive experience of musically and metaphorically ‘re-hiking’ the trail before a live audience.

Songs from the Trail began as an impromptu “In The Round” barn show on June 2, 2024, between three new friends, having fun sharing a deep common experience. As time and miles have passed, they’ve dug into writing together, developing rich harmonies and mining deeper into their trail memories and what they represent. The trail has a way of bringing people together across time and space, and there is a reason it coalesced this trio. The journey has only just begun… For further information, please visit https://www.facebook.com/people/Songs-From-The-Trail/61563660361506/ or view a video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVz77j2G4Nc.
