The Songs.

Each songwriter will perform one intimate solo set at a location in and around the grounds of the Gage Hotel and the Brick Vault Brewery. Think of it as a unique opportunity for the songwriter and the audience members alike to get to know each other, all surrounded by the beauty of Far West Texas. 

a Few outings.

Sit back and relax by the Gage Hotel pool with a cocktail in your hands and DJ Josh Grider spinning some of his favorite selections from his vast collection of vinyl. Deep cuts? You bet. Ones you know by heart? Surely. It’ll be a great way to kick off your Saturday, guaranteed.

If perhaps a chance to look up and get lost sounds like your thing, join The Topo Chico Cowboys for a little West Texas Cloud Appreciating on Saturday afternoon. Far West Texas is blessed with some of the finest clouds at which to gaze anywhere in the world— let’s go appreciate them and slow down the pace for a little while.

A Big Shindig.

To close out the last night of the Marathon Songwriters Festival each of the performing songwriters will join together on one stage to bring the festival to its rightful conclusion-- one big, fun, joyous shindig.
