    About The Yellowstone Songwriter Festival

    Although the line-up is impressive, it is not so much who will be at the festival as it is what these talented musicians have created! You probably listen to their songs on the radio, now your opportunity its to hear them from the songwriter who wrote them.  – The Songwriters!

    In addition to the hit songwriters, eighteen singer-songwriters from Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Dakota, Texas, and British Columbia will also join the festival. These original artists will perform 24 shows in the bars, cafes, restaurants, and theaters of downtown Cody including Chamberlin Inn, Silver Dollar Bar, Proprietress, The Station, Cody Theater, BLANCA TATANKA and Cody Auditorium. Each day we will have multiple shows happening at once with 2-3 artists sharing the stage together to create a unique show, the streets of downtown Cody will be exploding with talent.”

    All we’re missing is you. We would like to invite you to beautiful Cody, Wyoming and we look forward to sharing this incredible weekend of songwriting, creativity and music with you.
