Goldfinch Room Reunion Festival
The Goldfinch Room Reunion Festival is a first-time event over two days with 16 solo artists and three duos in 11 performances on Sept. 28-29 (Saturday noon to 9 p.m., Sunday 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.). Performances will take place in the Stephens Auditorium courtyard area and F parking lots. Several songwriting process sessions will be scheduled between stage performances.
Festival passes may be purchased at https://www.center.iastate.edu/events/gfrfest
Festival passes range from $30 to $160. Solo artists are paired up for 60-minute sets as are the duos throughout the two days, with the final performances of each day being 90-minute sets. Keeping with the Goldfinch Room vibe, some artists will also be hosting 20-minute songwriting process sessions where they will share their personal songwriting methods. These sessions will take place in the Celebrity Café inside Stephens Auditorium between stage performances.
