The Sandy Lee Watkins Songwriters’ Festival is four nights of intimate, acoustic live performances in Henderson’s historic downtown. You will be captivated by some of Nashville’s award-winning singer/songwriters as they share their stories behind the hit songs we hear on the radio! 

While sitting in the round or by the stage, attendees will have an up-close and personal experience with some of the greatest storytellers in music. The singer/songwriters of “The Dance” sung by Garth Brooks, “Waitin’ on a Woman” sung by Brad Paisley, “Five O’Clock Somewhere” sung by Alan Jackson, and more will be there to share their evening with you - and we promise you will not be disappointed!

The Sandy Lee Watkins Songwriters’ Festival is honored to give back each year to local non-profits in our community. You not only get to hear amazing music but each year the proceeds raised go to support local causes. Make your plans for an unforgettable experience of storytellin’ in the 42420 in July 2024!
