Songwriting Festival

A good friend of mine is a songwriter—an “unrealized great songwriter,” as he jokingly refers to himself. He’s written several pieces for fun but has never known what to do with them. Lucky for him, the 26th Annual Frank Brown Songwriters Festival is taking place November 11th to 21st.

The festival creates an opportunity for both seasoned and aspiring songwriters to have their music heard. Musicians will perform at various venues along the Gulf Coast. Even if you’re not a songwriter, you can hang out and listen to a mix of Grammy-winning artists and the potential stars of tomorrow. Most of the concerts are free; some may charge a cover.

Now to convince my friend to muster up the courage for a live, on-stage performance. Who knows, he may be able to change his status to “well-known great songwriter.”
