A venue can make or break an event.
A good venue has what you need and doesn't get in the way.
A great venue is something to talk about, becoming a part of the lasting memory, right alongside the performance.

We are creating a perfect space for you to experience the incredibly intimate headliner shows we have planned for the inaugural San Juan Songwriters Festival.

🏍️ The @durangoharleydavidson is going to transform into a concert venue/listening room that will perfectly compliment the talent, songs and stories we'll enjoy from @martifrederiksenofficial & @karadioguardi (FRIDAY) and @riversrutherford & @matracaberg (SATURDAY).

THIS is going to be something special!

Found this gem from almost 15 years ago — on stage with THE @riversrutherford as he jumped in on Barefoot, my first hit as a writer, which had just come out that year.

Now, all these years later, we’ve written countless songs together, and I’m lucky to have him joining me for @songinahat.

Come hang with me and Rivers — a Nashville Songwriters Hall of Famer (!) — tomorrow night at @listeningroomcafe. Ticket link in bio.
