No matter what your ability or status, there is a place for you at the Rocky Mountain Songwriter Festivals. We have classes for you to hone your songwriting skills, a songwriting contest to see how your composition stacks up with others and opportunities to play for pay. Many of our paid songwriters were introduced to us at our songwriting contest and master class.
We hire two levels of songwriters for our festival. Our hit songwriters write for country music stars. The criteria to play on this stage is to have written one or more #one hit songs. Past performers include, Wynn Varble, Kostas, Tony Lane, Hugh Prestwood, and Even Stevens among others.
Are you interested in performing as a Rising Star songwriter at the one of our festivals? Our Rising Stars are hired to play in the various pubs and restaurants in town. These shows are in a song-swap format with two to three other songwriters. Each show is an hour and fifteen minutes in length. You will likely play in a different venue with different songwriters each day. We pay our Rising Star songwriters a set talent fee for performing shows on a combination of days—Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. We do not pay expenses. The fee is reflective of the experience of playing at our festival and enjoying our mountain communities of Montana and Wyoming.
If you are interested in being one of our Rising Star Songwriters at one of our festivals, Red Lodge Songwriter Festival in Red Lodge Montana, Yellowstone Songwriter Festival in Cody, Wyoming or the Whitefish Songwriter Festival in Whitefish, Montana please send a CD of your original music and bio to:
