A festival for all songwriters, hosted by songwriters, put together by songwriters!

STAGES 

  Registration is OPEN.  Free Parking!

The fest comprises a music related audience. We gather musically minded individuals perusing their own level in the biz. It's a music family and friends gathering. Stages are as varied as their locations. The stages are open to all genres of songwriting. Stages have  seating available.   :)  

Performing songwriters will be scheduled to play 2-3 of their original songs on one of the stages below, 2-3 of the days they attend the fest. Plus any attendee can play in the unscheduled Create-A-Rounds. So don't be shy! Play as much as you want, almost where ever you want.

Come celebrate in song as Summer begins..... it's your stage for your designated slot. Do it however you want within the guidelines. To find out more on how stage performances work  playing solo, duo or in a band setting, go here. "How the Fest  Works/Stage Mechanics"
