Five extraordinary songwriters. Decades of songs. One stage.

The Red River Songwriters bring together an exceptional lineup of Texas songwriting talent: Susan Gibson, Walt Wilkins, Josh Grider, Drew Kennedy and Kelley Mickwee. Individually, their careers span hit songs, acclaimed albums, countless miles on the road and some of the most respected songwriting circles in Texas. Together, they create something even more special.

From Gibson’s iconic “Wide Open Spaces,” made famous by The Chicks, to Wilkins’ revered catalog, Kennedy and Grider’s masterful storytelling, and Mickwee’s soulful Memphis-meets-Texas sound, this is a night centered on what matters most: great songs and the stories behind them.

Expect songs traded back and forth, plenty of stories, effortless camaraderie and those spontaneous moments that can only happen when five longtime songwriters share a stage.

This is Texas songwriting at its best—intimate, honest and up close at The Saxon Pub.
