About Music Café

Open to Festival Credential Holders

The "Music Café produced by ASCAP" is one of the most popular draws at the Sundance Film Festival. It is dedicated to showcasing the exceptional talent of new, emerging and established songwriters and artists, including solo acts and major bands, and is a place where independent filmmakers can meet and interact with film composers and songwriters to encourage collaboration between these two creative communities.

The "Music Café produced by ASCAP" was originally located at the Elks Building on Main Street, but due to its standing-room-only success, it was relocated to a bigger space at The Star Bar in 2003 where it continues to draw huge crowds.

2008 marks the 10th anniversary of ASCAP producing the Music Café at the Sundance Film Festival. Over the years, ASCAP has provided stellar programming, presenting artists associated with Festival films along with other legendary and cutting-edge artists.
