The Rocky Mountain Songwriter Festivals was founded in 2016 as a 501 c-3 organization. We currently produce two songwriting festivals, the Red Lodge Songwriter Festival in Red Lodge, Montana and the Livingston Songwriter Festival in Livingston, Montana.

Music has the tremendous power to impact lives through music education, influence economic growth through tourism, and provide opportunity for songwriters to share their talents and songs with enduring music fans.  

It is our mission to:

• Promote the art of songwriting and share the music and stories of songwriters.
• Promote our host communities as a tourist destination for music, bringing incremental revenue to local businesses and
• Support music education.

Since 2016 we have produced thirteen festivals, hosted hundreds of songwriters, thousands of fans and donated over $120,000 for music education in and around the communities of Red Lodge, Cody, WY, Whitefish and Livingston.

These organizations have benefited from the power of music.
