Hill Country Sun Providing news of interesting people, places and things in the Texas Hill Country since 1990

The Texas Hill Country sits to the west of Austin and the north of San Antonio. It is commonly taken to be that portion of the state that sits on the Edwards Plateau and the Balcones Escarpment, usually taken to mean roughly that area bounded by Interstate 35 on the east, Texas Highway 29 on the north, US Highway 90 to the south, and west to US Highway 83. Since 1990, the Hill Country Sun has brought our readers stories of the special people, establishments, events and destinations that make up this beautiful part of the Lone Star State.

Are you excited yet?? The Dripping Springs Songwriters Festival is a 3-day event that treats music lovers to a wide variety of amazing songs and the people and stories behind the finely crafted tunes.

The songwriting showcases give attendees the opportunity to experience tomorrow’s headliners in small-stage "listening room" performances at unique venues in historic downtown Dripping Springs. On 8 stages, featuring 70 shows, 40+ songwriters will perform in an “in the round” Nashville-style song-swap format. In its essence, the Dripping Springs Songwriters Festival is all about finely crafted songs and the talented folks who have written them. The best part? All shows downtown are FREE!

Save the date for October 16-18, 2026 and follow for lineup announcements and other information as we get closer to the Fest!
