Third Annual Annapolis Songwriters Festival To Take Place In September

/by

The Third Annual Annapolis Songwriters Festival is set to take place Sept. 12–15 in Annapolis, Maryland. Presented by Rams Head in partnership with BMI and Visit Annapolis & Anne Arundel County, the four-day function will include ticketed performances and free showcases, inspired by its longstanding sister, the Key West Songwriters Festival.

The festival will kick off at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 12 at Rams Head Tavern with four hours of free live music on the patio, and continue in over 15 venues across downtown Annapolis until Sunday, Sept. 15.

Those slated for ticketed shows include Johnnyswim, Natalie Hemby, Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors, Kimberly Perry, Abby Cone, Lee Brice and Will Jones, among others. Free showcases will be scattered along a walkable “songwriters trail,” highlighting local restaurants, shops and landmarks from Maryland Hall to downtown’s City Dock. Along with BMI talent, the festival will feature more than 40 Annapolis songwriters. The full free-show schedule will be released in early September.

Additionally, this year’s event will introduce songwriting workshops at Maryland Hall as well as a Bose Sound Experience. More details will be announced at a later date.

“We are thrilled to present this event for a third year in Annapolis. This festival has grown to be a highlight of the fall season, and one both locals and tourists look forward to,” says Kyle Muehlhauser, Annapolis Songwriters Festival Co-Owner. “There’s nowhere else in this region where festival attendees can experience the faces, names and stories behind the industry’s biggest hits.”
