About Red River Traveling Songwriters:

Now, after a decade in the music business, traveling Red River songwriters continue to bring their distinctive songwriter voices and American tunes to sold-out houses across the country! Each of these accomplished artists has enjoyed great success performing on their own, with accolades such as Nashville publishing deals, a multi-platinum country single, international touring, and more than 25 albums released between them. From acoustic folk tunes to country anthems to rock and roll, these three members of the Traveling Red River Songwriters are sure to play something for everyone!
