Songwriter In-The-Round

Rocky Mountain Listening Room

Calling all emerging to intermediate songwriters. The Rocky Mountain Listening Room, formerly the Rocky Mountain Folk Club (50+ years), is launching with a revamped concept with a goal to support up-coming songwriters and artists with education and performance opportunities. We have a whole season of workshops available with our headliners — discover songwriting with SOCAN, Canadian Folk Music and Juno Award winners.

You can apply to perform as part of an “in-the-round” opener alongside the main headliners.

All performers selected will be in the running for our end-of-season spotlight artist award (awarded to one stand-out artist), with a robust prize package including $500 towards production with Wheelhouse Sound, a headline set next season, and one-on-one mentorship from industry experts.

The songwriting lineup can be found here rockyfolkclub.com/workshops.

Our Commitment to Equity

Our commitment to Indigenous reconciliation, racial equity, disability justice, and gender and sexual diversity.

We acknowledge that the land we gather on, Mohkinsstsis, is the ancestral territory of the Siksikaitsitapi — the Blackfoot people — comprising the Siksika, Kainai and Piikani Nations, as well as Treaty 7 signatories, the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Îyârhe Nakoda Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney First Nations. Today this land is home to the Otipemisiwak Métis Government Districts 5 and 6 as well as many First Nations and Inuit from across Turtle Island.

We acknowledge that there has been art, music, dance, storytelling and ceremony on this land since time immemorial and it is in the spirit of this land and its people that we do our work.
