The universal language of music binds us together, soothes our souls, and allows us to express our feelings and emotions. A good song causes an emotional reaction and feelings that we can’t even explain.
The Red Lodge Songwriter Festival will bring the kind of music to town that will guarantee to touch you in a way like never before. Hit song writers and rising stars from Montana, Nashville and around the country will congregate for three full days, in June, giving audiences a multitude of opportunities to listen to a variety of amazing music.
“Until you experience the festival, you can’t even imagine,” said organizer, Mike Booth. He’s been part of the festival since its inception in 2016 and has brought hundreds of musicians to town for a weekend of music celebration.
Twenty-one songwriters from Montana, Nashville and across the country will perform in thirty shows at eight different downtown venues including Bone Daddy’s, Roman Theater, The Bird Cage at the One-Legged Magpie, Snag Bar and Cattail Bakery. Some of these songwriters have written #1 hits recorded by the likes of Eddie Rabbit, Kenny Rogers, Reba McEntire, The Chicks, Jason Aldean, Faith Hill, George Strait, Blake Shelton, Kenny Chesney, and many more. Rising stars, hoping to become the next hit songwriter, perform in two to three person songwriter rounds sharing their songs and stories behind the songs.
“It’s an amazing experience listening to a song writer perform one of their own songs,” Mike continued. “They put their heart and soul into it and it’s entirely different than what the hit might sound like. When one of the rising star’s songs becomes a hit, you can claim you first saw them at the Red Lodge Songwriters Festival!”
The 6th Annual Festival promises a celebration of songwriting and great music. Proceeds from the event supports music education in our public schools.
Mark your calendar for June 23 – 25, make the weekend a family event and come “listen to the music!”
