About this concert
If you've ever wanted to spend a few days in the beautiful mountains of northern New Mexico, hanging out with some of your favorite songwriters, doing a little eating, drinking, and perhaps skiing....then this event is for you.
Texas Red's Red River Songwriters' Festival was founded by Drew Kennedy, Josh Grider, Walt Wilkins, Susan Gibson, Brandy Zdan and Kelley Mickwee in 2012.
Firstly, tickets to this event will be extremely limited. We want the people who choose to attend the festival to feel like they've really been able to get to know the talented artists who will be taking part in our tenth annual Songwriters' Festival. We want it to feel intimate, and we want it to be special.
There will be solo shows, duo shows, and collaborations between artists with a grande finale by the founding members. There will also be late night informal jams, early afternoon ski runs, and who knows what else. Mostly, it will be three days of music, love, friendship, food, drink, and the celebration of music and song. Join us!

Matt Skinner Biography
The Matt Skinner Band is a 4-piece alt-country/ roots-rock band headquartered in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in the city of Fort Collins, Colorado. Lead by veteran singer-songwriter Matt Skinner, the group brings its ferocious, high energy brand of original, rock-infused country music to the stage night after night after night.
“That smooth, powerful tenor drawl that evokes the best of both Kings: country legend George Strait and rockabilly legend Elvis.” -TEXAS MUSIC MAGAZINE
Skinner’s lyrics capture the raw human spirit and come to life as the band deftly weaves a colorful tapestry of songs and stories of love and danger with a passion born of living and tempered with an infectious groove. The detail and imagery of each song is magnified by the intense electricity of the band as Skinner’s powerful, road-worn tenor voice commands the stage with a presence that is spellbinding in its organic honesty and resonance. Each performance is a thrilling, emotional carnival ride filled love, laughter, pain and heartbreak layered with electric guitars.
The Matt Skinner Band features Matt Skinner on electric guitar and vocals, multi-instrumentalist Darren Radach on Drums and Mandolin, Ben O’Connor on bass, and the great Ansel Foxley on electric dobro.
The Matt Skinner Band has released three albums: Four Winds (2001), The Nighthawk Affair (2007) and Live at StoneCringe: Vol I (2009) and Native Stranger: Part 1-Fandango (2013).
The band is currently finishing up a new single to be released in advance of a new full-length album (coming Spring 2017).
