Red Lodge Songwriter Festival

June 18-20, 2026
For three days in June, the streets of Red Lodge, bars, cafes, and theaters become a gathering place for songwriters from Nashville, Montana and around the country. This is the festival that showcases the art of songwriting at its highest level.

The Annual Red Lodge Songwriter Celebration will feature 26 great songwriters, in eight downtown venues performing over fifty shows. You won’t want to miss this amazing opportunity to hear these songwriters sharing the stage playing their songs and telling the stories behind the songs.

In addition to entertainment our festival supports music education in our community. Since 2016 the RMSWF, Inc. has donated more than $140,000 to fulfill our mission.

“I’ve been playing songwriters festivals all over the country for the last 20 years and the Red Lodge Songwriter Festival is hands down one of my all time favs. The town is a gem in the Rockies, the people who support it are generous and enthusiastic, the weather is perfect and the music is awesome! Doesn’t get any better than Red Lodge Songwriter Festival” Brett Jones, Hit Songwriter
