Tip of The Hat

Songwriters & the Songwriters Who Inspire Them

Bigger Beast Records presents Tip of the Hat, a special songwriter series celebrating New England songwriters and the artists who inspire them. Performers share the stage in the round, presenting original music alongside songs from some of the greatest songwriters of all time.

Each event pays tribute to legendary artists including John Denver, Billy Joel, Dave Matthews, Carole King, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, John Prine, Bruce Springsteen, and the Grateful Dead. Together, the performers reinterpret iconic songs while also highlighting their own creative voices.

Tip of the Hat offers an intimate listening experience that blends musical history with contemporary songwriting in a collaborative, community-focused setting. Hosted by Frank Critelli.
