Three days. Multiple venues. Great songwriters. And a town built for music.
The Carrboro Songwriters Festival brings together outstanding songwriters from across the Southeast and beyond for a weekend devoted to the thing that matters most: the song.
Across three days and multiple Carrboro venues, you’ll hear Nashville-style songwriter rounds, intimate performances, unexpected collaborations, and a few provocative panels discussions exploring the world behind the music — how songs get written, how artists get heard, what makes a great performance, and where the industry is headed.
CARRBORO N.C | OCT. 16, 17, 18
You’ll hear music that is raw, honest, beautifully crafted — and delivered by people who actually wrote it. Some performances will make you laugh. Some may break your heart. Others might send you home wanting to pick up a guitar and write something yourself.
