Acoustic Fridays Songwriting Challenge

  • Date: June 21, 2024 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.  
  • Location: Lewisville Grand Theater
    100 N. Charles
    Lewisville, Texas 75057
  • Introduction: Presented by the Visual Art League of Lewisville

Calling all songwriters! Whether you’re a seasoned pro or new to the stage, you’re invited to join Acoustic Fridays (sponsored by the Visual Art League) for its quarterly Songwriting Challenge. This free event gives singer-songwriters – and listeners! – the chance to experience the courageous and exquisite beauty of original songwriting.

Come to perform:
Each challenge has a designated theme to guide the songwriting process, and this event’s theme is “Home Cookin’.” Songwriters are encouraged to set their creative stove to 400 degrees and get to writing some delicious “HOME COOKIN” songs! 

Participating songwriters may perform their songs on acoustic instruments (amplified acoustic guitars are OK) or a cappella. We encourage solo performances, but songwriters may have an accompanist, also playing an acoustic instrument. The exception to the acoustic instrument rule is keyboard or electric bass is allowed.

There are no prizes and only two rules: Songs must be written specifically for this challenge and must be debuted at the event. The challenge starts at 7 p.m., though we encourage performers to arrive by 6:45 p.m. to select a performance slot on the sign-up sheet.

Come to listen:
The event is free and open to the public. The concert begins at 7 p.m. and ends when all songwriters have performed.


To reach The Grand from I-35E, take exit 452 and proceed east on Main Street to Charles Street. The Grand will be on the left. Free public parking is available along Main and Church streets, or at Lewisville City Hall.
