Hidden away in the small and isolated towns of Wyoming are many talented troubadours and songsmiths of all ages, styles, and experience levels. Some play for their chickens, some play at local open-mic nights, while some tour the country with a full ensemble. Each one has a story to tell, and each one contributes to the evolving narrative and culture of Wyoming.
Our Mission
1) Build supportive communities of songwriters grounded in a shared love of music, song writing, and the exploration of human experiences both common and unique, especially those specific to the people and land of Wyoming.
2) Cultivate and promote excellence in songwriting by facilitating workshops, hosting songwriting challenges, and giving artists the opportunity to refine their craft in professional recording studios.
3) Host an annual Singer-Songwriter festival and competition. Over the course of a weekend, this festival brings together artists from across the state to compete for a singer-songwriter grand prize, provides networking and community building opportunities between artists, judges, and audience members, and hosts a number of family-friendly events including songwriting workshops and the final competition concert.
