Blanco River Songwriter Festival
2022-05-07 11:00 - 22:00 (America/Chicago) | Fischer Dance Hall, 701 Fischer Store Rd, Fischer, TX, 78623, United States
The overall experience at a Blanco River Songwriter Festival is pretty much laid-back Hill Country perfection.
Curated by musicians themselves, the Songwriter Festival brings premier talent into an intimate setting for 11 hours of live music. The acoustics of the space with a cold beer in your hand and spring breezes blowing through the open windows of the dance hall will remind you of how lucky we are to be in the Texas Hill Country. This year’s lineup is one heavy-hitting songwriter after another. You won’t want to miss a single act, so get your tickets, get your drink in hand, and stay for the day!
Proceeds benefit Blanco River Academy.
