Sandy Lee Watkins Songwriters Festival

The Sandy Lee Watkins Songwriters Festival is where stories come to life.

Set in beautiful downtown Henderson, Kentucky, Songfest invites you into an intimate, in-the-round experience where the songwriters take center stage—sharing not just the music, but the moments, memories, and meaning behind every lyric.

Featuring a blend of hit songwriters, rising voices, and local talent, the festival creates a one-of-a-kind atmosphere that feels more like a gathering than a show. 

But what makes Songfest truly special is its heart—supporting local nonprofits and giving back to the community that makes it all possible.

Come for the songs. Stay for the stories. Leave feeling connected.
