One of my favorite 30A events is the Song Writers Festival and we try to attend it every year. There’s always fantastic music, it’s a lot of fun, and you can get up close and personal with some of today’s biggest music stars and catch up-and-comers before they hit it big.
The 30A Songwriters Festival takes place all around 30A in over 25 venues. From amphitheaters, town halls, restaurants, theaters, bars and covered patios – there is literally music everywhere!
Over 175 artists are scheduled to perform and there are some great ones this year! Headliners include JOHN PRINE, CHEAP TRICK, DR. JOHN & THE NITE TRIPPERS, and SHAWN COLVIN. You can also catch Parker Millsap, Drivin N Cryin, and Amy LaVere. Featured artists in venues at night on 30A include John Fullbright, Over the Rhine, JoJo Hermann (Widespread Panic), Chely Wright, Murray Attaway (Guadalcanal Diary), Sarah Lee Guthrie, Matthew Sweet, Tom Gray (The Brains), Shawn Mullins, Peter Case, John Gorka, Nicole Witt, Farewell Angelina….just to name a few!
So, no matter what type of music you are into, you can find it over the weekend. And best of all, you never know who you might be sitting next to, some of the stars on today’s country scene have homes here on 30A, so if you think you might have seen Luke Bryan, Faith Hill, or Toby Keith – you probably did! Come to think of it – a map to the star’s homes on 30A – that’s a great business idea!
FYI if you are looking for tickets….Festival weekend passes are now available for $265 and can be purchased at www.30asongwritersfestival.com, and locally in South Walton at the Cultural Arts Alliance office and at Central Square Records in Seaside.
