More than 200 songwriters play over 600 performances on more than two dozen stages along the Florida and Alabama Gulf Coast during this 11-day festival, which grew out of the Flora-Bama on Perdido Key. Songwriters tell the stories behind their songs, from Grammy winners to rising talent. Many shows are free, and some are ticketed or charge a cover.
Before you go
- Choose the songwriter rounds and venues you want, since shows run on stages in both Florida and Alabama.
- Bring a card or cash for a cover at ticketed shows, because admission changes from stage to stage.
