For two days in October, 4th & 5th the festival will feature hit songwriters from Nashville and Rising Stars from Montana performing in songwriter rounds, sharing songs and stories.
Thirteen songwriters will perform in the theaters, restaurants, coffee shops and bars of downtown Livingston with some of the best songwriters in the music industry. Each show will feature two or three songwriters telling stories, trading songs and showcasing their creativity.
Performance venues include 1900, The Attic, The Owl Lounge, Livingston Center for Art and Culture, Livingston Bar and Grille, Tru North and the Elks Lodge. The festival is hosting a free community concert featuring all of the songwriters to perform at the Elks Lodge on Friday, Oct 4th at 7 pm. “This gives Livingston a chance to get acquainted with the concept of a songwriter circle,” added Mike Booth. “We’re hoping people enjoy the concept and buy a ticket to all the shows on Saturday. Your ticket/lanyard gets you entrance to every venueon Saturday, and a chance to see several combinations of writers playing their songs.” Tickets are $55 for Saturday, with plans to expand the festival to three days in 2025. There are opportunities for VIP packages, Sponsors and Patrons to become involved, and a need for volunteers to keep things rolling. One four-hour volunteer shift gets you an all access pass to the rest of the festival. Those interested in volunteering should contact Joanne Gardner
