Rockin' The Roxy - Songwriter Showcase
Details
Join us on the Hi-Line of Montana for an unforgettable celebration of music, storytelling, and community at the historic Roxy Theater in Shelby. Rockin’ the Roxy: Hitmaker Weekend Songwriter Showcase brings together acclaimed hit songwriters for an intimate, behind-the-music experience where the songs you love come to life through the stories that inspired them.
The weekend begins on June 26 with an exclusive VIP Evening, created especially for our core sponsors and dedicated supporters. This intimate night offers a rare opportunity to connect with featured songwriters in a personal setting while celebrating the vision behind revitalizing live music at the Roxy.
On June 27, the stage opens for the Songwriter Showcase, where hitmakers share their original songs, creative journeys, and the moments behind chart-topping music. Audiences will experience stripped-down performances, authentic storytelling, and the magic of songwriting in its purest form.
