The Dunes are Alive...with the Sound of Music |
|
What could be better than sitting down along the Alabama coast...toes in
the sand, frosty drink in hand...listening to some of the best musical talent in the nation?
Music will waft over the Alabama Gulf Coast like
a gulf breeze during the 23rd Annual Frank Brown Songwriters' Festival.
The festival (happening November 13-23) is a highlight of the fall season, bringing
more than 100 songwriters from around the nation to croon their hearts out along
our sandy shores. For 11 days, venues along the Alabama and Florida coast will
offer a jam-packed schedule, featuring enough blues, country, gospel and rock-n-roll
to soothe even the most savage beast.
The
event, hosted by the world-famous Flora-Bama lounge on the Alabama/Florida border,
is an opportunity to hear some of the songs we all know by heart, sung by the
folks who penned them. And there’s no telling what new tunes will be unveiled.
Come tap your toes, snap your fingers and rock
the night away. For a schedule of festival performances and venues, visit the
festival website or call 850-492-SONG. Then boogie on over and book your visit right now so you won’t miss a single note. |

for Great Golf on the Gulf |

you’ve got the perfect recipe for that end-of-season buddy trip.

an affordable stay-and-play package that can’t be beat. Your personal golf
concierge will make planning a breeze.
