Summer Songwriter Series 2025

After a successful run last year, Christ Church Cathedral and Josie Award-nominated singer/songwriter Nick Teale are once again teaming up to present the Summer Songwriter Series for 2025. The three all-acoustic events, each hosted by Teale (who will also be playing all three shows), will happen once a month through August and highlight four Louisville-based singer/songwriters per show, as well as take up collections for three Louisville-area faith-based community action and advocacy organizations. The lineups are as follows:

Sunday, June 22:
Katie Didit
Shannon Vetter

Joe Piano

CLOUT is an interfaith grassroots, direct action, multi-issue organization dedicated to solving community problems by holding systems accountable. Some of their current initiatives include police reform and accountability, plugging the school-to-prison pipeline, affordable housing, and much more.

All three shows take place at Christ Church Cathedral (421 S. 2nd St.) from 1 to 3 p.m. All shows are free, but donations will be collected for the aforementioned organizations. Parking will be available at the Louisville Surgical Center (444 S. 1st St.), located behind the cathedral.

Please note that although these shows take place at Christ Church Cathedral, the Summer Songwriter Series are not religion-based events and are separate from the church’s normal Sunday services. The shows are LGBTQ-friendly, and people from all walks of life are welcomed and encouraged to attend.
