The sixth annual Watershed Voice Artist Showcase, a celebration of local musicians, spoken word artists, and local journalism, will return to The Huss Project this summer in Three Rivers.
On Saturday, July 25, Watershed Voice will showcase artists from around Southwest Michigan and beyond, with festivities set to begin at 6 p.m. inside Huss’ Imaginarium. The nonprofit brought the event inside the air conditioned space in 2025, after previously holding it outside each year, a change welcomed by artists and attendees alike.
For a $5 entry fee, you’ll get front row seats to performances by singers, poets, and more. A full lineup of artists will be announced later this summer. All proceeds benefit the work of Watershed Voice, telling the stories of southwest Michigan.
Want to sponsor this event? Get in touch! Email our Office Manager Steph Hightree at office@watershedvoice.com or call us at (269) 244-6055.
Keep an eye out for more announcements regarding this year’s showcase in the coming weeks and months.
Alek Haak-Frost is the executive editor, publisher, and founder of Watershed Voice.
