Historic Downtown Dripping Springs will reverberate with the sounds of music this weekend as the 11th Annual Dripping Springs Songwriters Festival hits the streets. This three-day event honors the talent and craft of singers and songwriters in a series of showcases at downtown venues. Attendees will be treated to a wide variety of songs and stories from more than 35 artists.
The festival is organized to evoke small “listening room” performances. There are seven stages, one at each of the seven participating venues - The Barber Shop Bar, Acopon Brewing, Mazama Coffee Co, Hudson’s on Mercer, Hudson’s Outdoors, Winehouse, Haus of Jayne and Dog & Bone.
There will be a total of 70 shows, and the songwriters will perform in an “in the round” Nashville-style song-swap format.
All shows are free.
The festival hours are Friday, Oct. 17 from 1:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday Oct. 18 from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 19 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
