Then the pandemic hit in 2020, and this particular festival was never revived.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Every year in late August, the Smoky Mountain Songwriters Festival takes center stage in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The goal of the festival is to bring songwriters, music professionals, and music enthusiasts together to \u201cCelebrate Our Appalachian Musical Roots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the festival, there are numerous free concerts at various downtown venues as well as songwriting workshops, auditions, mentoring programs, song competitions, several ticketed shows, and more.<\/p>\n<h3>About the Songwriters Festival<\/h3>\n<p>While it\u2019s musical performers who generally get all the fame, it\u2019s the songwriters who compose the music and write the lyrics for your favorite country music and blue grass songs.<\/p>\n<p>In this way, The Smoky Mountain Songwriters Festival is unique among music festivals in the area. Certainly, many of the participants are outstanding musicians in their own right, but at the heart of the festival is <em>songwriting<\/em>. We\u2019re talking about that often-elusive creative process of writing notes and lyrics to make you laugh, cry, swoon, and reminisce (sometimes, all at once).<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, in addition to musical performances, you\u2019ll find a myriad of educational and workshop events and activities at the festival &#8211; all designed to explore the art of songwriting.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2152\" style=\"width: 968px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2152\" class=\"wp-image-2152 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/things-to-do\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Jul3.jpg\" alt=\"Smoky Mountains Songwriters Festival in Gatlinburg\" width=\"958\" height=\"582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/things-to-do\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Jul3.jpg 958w, https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/things-to-do\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Jul3-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cabinsofthesmokymountains.com\/things-to-do\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Jul3-768x467.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 958px) 100vw, 958px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2152\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Images courtesy of the Smoky Mountains Songwriters Festival<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The full list of festival events changes each year, but often includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong> Songwriting Workshops<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong> Co-Writing Sessions With Hit Writers<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong> Songwriting Competitions (featuring hundreds of original songs!)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong> Mentoring Programs<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong> Classes &amp; Critiquing Sessions<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong> Talks &amp; Discussions<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong> Band Playoffs<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong> Free Performances<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong> Headlining Ticketed Concerts<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To learn more about the festival in general and to see this year\u2019s line-up, head <a href=\"http:\/\/www.smswf.com\/\">here<\/a> to the official website.<\/p>\n<h3>History of the Songwriters Festival<\/h3>\n<p>In 2011, Cyndy Montgomery Reeves, founder and director of The Smoky Mountains Songwriters Festival, happened upon the Key West Songwriter\u2019s Festival in Florida. Shocked that Key West had a festival celebrating songwriters, but not Gatlinburg, home to so many songwriters, musicians, singers, and pickers, Cyndy went right to work remedying the situation.<\/p>\n<p>When she returned to Gatlinburg, she met immediately with the city\u2019s Special Events Director, George Hawkins, to suggest the idea of such a festival in Gatlinburg. To her delight, George agreed to take on the project.<\/p>\n<p>The first SMSWF took place the following year in 2012, and it\u2019s been a hit every year since!<\/p>\n<h3>You Don\u2019t Have to Be a Songwriter to Enjoy the Songwriters Festival<\/h3>\n<p>There are thousands of music festivals throughout the nation that celebrate music in all its forms. But there are only a few festivals that celebrate the core of <em>any and every song you\u2019ve ever listened to<\/em> \u2014 the songwriters!<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, remember that there\u2019s only <em>one <\/em>festival that celebrates songwriters in the Smoky Mountains the place where bluegrass, old time music, and country music were born.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be sure to check our <a
