The pieces are coming together for our 2026 Deadwood Trails of Tales Songwriter Festival in October! Stay tuned as we get the details ready!

Trails of Tales Songwriter Festival

Almost a week ago we took a planning trip up to Deadwood, had some great meetings and got to welcome in some new venues for this years festival. We met with the great crew at the Deadwood Chamber of Commerce and came up with some exciting things to help grow the entire songwriters weekend this October for our artist!

We look forward to welcoming in 4 more venues to this years Trails of Tales Songwriter Festival making a total of 8 spots for TOT. Although we are still 7 months away, the landscape has changed greatly for the better in the past 5 months and there are still so many things to roll out between now and then!! Make plans now to attend the songwriters weekend Oct 15th-17th 2026
