The San Juan Songwriters Festival will bring together Hall of Fame songwriters, chart-topping hitmakers, and rising voices for a multi-day, multi-venue event set throughout historic downtown Durango. Designed to feel more like a series of conversations than a traditional concert, the festival offers audiences a rare opportunity to experience the music they love in its most raw and personal form. Set against the backdrop of the San Juan Mountains, the festival offers a walkable, immersive experience that blends world-class songwriting with the character and charm of one of Colorado’s most vibrant mountain towns. Taking the stage at this performance are Hall-of-Fame songwriters Rivers Rutherford and Matraca Berg, whose songs have shaped the soundtracks of generations. In rare, up-close performances, these artists will share not only their music, but the stories, inspiration, and moments behind the hits.
