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 25th Annual
Frank Brown Songwriters' Festival. The festival (happening November
12-22) 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. |
