Meet new people, forge new friendships, and support music in our community by becoming part of the Red Lodge Songwriter Festival team.
Our corps of volunteers work to support our fans, staff, sponsors, and songwriters
to ensure everyone at the event has an exciting, fun, memorable, and safe experience. You could be staffing the box office, selling tickets, checking and selling wristbands at our venues, and/or selling merchandise.
We offer a Legends & Headliners All Access Pass or a Day wristband in exchange for your volunteer contribution.
We are looking for smiling faces who can go with the flow in an ever-changing environment, take on any assignment—no matter the size—and whose middle name is Dependable. If this sounds like you, we would love to have you as a volunteer for the 9th Annual Red Lodge Songwriter Festival.
We will reward you with a Legends & Headliners All Access Pass, that allows you access to all seven venues throughout the weekend when not volunteering (subject to venue capacity, as with all pass-holders), for five hours or more worked over the three days of the festival, or a one day Festival wristband for a shift of 3 hours or less on the day you worked. On-line training and pre-shift check-in do not apply to your volunteer hours.
You’ll be an integral part of the event’s success. A portion of the festival’s proceeds go to music education in our public schools and colleges. In the past nine years more than $120,000 has been donated to fulfill our mission.
A wide range of volunteer opportunities are available. If you like to volunteer for this year’s festival, June 19-21, 2025, click here and add your name, the dates and times you can work on our sign-up sheet.
Box Office Host
The box office is open from 12pm to 6 pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday during the festival. We need volunteers to assist in checking in pass & ticket holders, answering questions, selling tickets and merchandise. Shifts are in 2.5 hour blocks.
Venue Host
All the shows at the songwriter festivals are ticketed which means to come into the shows fans need proper credentials. This might include passes and/or wristbands. Volunteers are posted at each entrance/exit to be sure fans coming and going have the proper credentials to come in. They are also responsible for selling wristbands at the venue. Venue volunteers also work to keep conversations to a minimum and the atmosphere of a listening room is respected.
Set-Up & Logistics
Do you have time to set-up chairs, run errands, set stages, move sound equipment and/or anything else that needs to be done during the festival. We need self-motivated people to help.
A festival with.a purpose. You’ll be an integral part of the event’s success. A portion of the festival’s proceeds go to music education in our public schools and colleges. In the past eight years more than $120,000 has been donated to fulfill our mission.
