The 7908 Aspen Songwriters Festival

Produced by Songwriter Hall Of Fame member John Oates and the Wheeler Opera House, The 7908 Aspen Songwriters Festival is the nation's most intimate musical weekend, as it creates the shortest distance between the artists who write the songs and the fans who want to hear them in their purest, most real form.  Legendary writers perform side by side with the next great generation of songwriting talent.  Be on the cutting edge of the music with 7908!

All-Access passes for 7908 go for just $140 and include all eleven ticketed events - a savings of 40% off the single-ticket price.  Four-punch passes offer great flexibility and can be used for two punches per show.  Four-punch passes are only $60 each.
