Gunnison Tough WInter Songwriter’s Shuffle

Come one and come ALL!
The Winter Songwriter Shuffle Series is once again getting toes tapping in Mt. Crested Butte.

SJ McDonald
SJ McDonald’s sound reflects that of a hard-working farmer’s daughter who lives and breathes country music – because that’s who she is. Born and raised in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, SJ developed her tenacity and dedication working on her family’s 5-generation cattle and turkey farm. Along with callused hands, she found her adoration for country music, loving the legends of the 90s and 2000s country eras. SJ started writing and performing at just 9 years old, leading her own band throughout high school, and found her way to Nashville at 18. She landed weekly slots on Lower Broadway playing for tips, where she spent 6 years cutting her teeth and honing in her style of performing – which can only be described as high energy, infectious, and country to the core.

Marti Dodson
Singer/songwriter Marty Dodson has had songs recorded by artists such as Carrie Underwood, Kenny Chesney, George Strait, The Oak Ridge Boys, The Plain White T’s, Saving Jane, Lonestar, Billy Currington, and Craig Morgan.

Autumn McEntire
The music of Autumn McEntire portrays her heart with influences from country, pop, and acoustic rock. Autumn is the niece of country music legend Reba McEntire. Needless to say, her musical legacy runs deep. Autumn credits her inspiration and success to artists like Trisha Yearwood, Sheryl Crow, Jewel, and Patty Griffin.
