Lewisville Grand Theater has announced that three members of the Traveling Red River Songwriters will perform as part of the Black Box Songwriter Series on Saturday, November 19, 2022 at 8 p.m. Featuring the musical stylings of Susan Gibson, Drew Kennedy, and Walt Wilkins, audiences will be treated to a concert with a unique song swap format, as each artist plays their music and tells stories in an evening of incredible musicianship.

About the Traveling Red River Songwriters:

In true troubadour fashion, these three like-minded musical storytellers decided to band together in 2011 with two other musicians and start a small music festival in Red River, New Mexico. Now, after a decade in the music industry, the Traveling Red River Songwriters continue to bring their distinctive songwriting voices and Americana tunes to sold-out houses across the country! Each of these accomplished artists has experienced a lot of success performing on their own, with accolades including Nashville publishing deals, a multi-platinum country single, international touring, and more than 25 albums released between them. From acoustic folk pieces to country anthems to toe-tappin' rock and roll, these three members of the Traveling Red River Songwriters are sure to play something for everyone!
