The musicians of Round The Globe have recorded over 30 albums and have a catalog of approximately 500 songs. Their affiliation continues to grow as they add new members to the RTG project. Round the Globe songs address a wide range of topics including some very difficult social concerns such as abuse, addiction, homelessness, disability, and mental illness, with the intention of bringing an understanding to these difficult human conditions.
