Frank Brown International Songwriters Festival
Reaches its Halfway Point
Six days
left to experience the magic...
November 17, 2009 - Orange Beach, AL (OBA) - The 25th
Annual Frank Brown International Songwriters' Festival has hit
the half-way point. With only six days left to see live
performances by the songwriters, it's a good time to check out the
schedule and make your plans. You can view the schedules by songwriter,
venue or a daily schedule. This year about two-hundred
songwriters from around the world are
performing at 15
venues
along the Alabama/Florida Gulf Coast. Writers who attend the Frank Brown Songwriters' Festival truly enjoy
performing their original works. As several of
the songwriters have said, performing at this festival is like nothing
they have ever experienced... the people who attend these shows truly
appreciate the art.
The songwriters enjoy this festival so much that most
can be found playing at open mics around the area when they don't have a
show scheduled. We've had the good fortune to be able to record interviews with over ten
of the songwriters so far. We will use the information from these interviews to write a
feature article about the Festival's 25th Anniversary and the
songwriters that made it special. Besides
their love of songwriting, one cord that carries throughout our
interviews is
the down-to-earth nature of the writers. They genuinely appreciate
this opportunity to share their songs with the audiences.
Below are some of the photos from the first six days of this year's
festival. We will be adding additional photos to the slide show over the
next six days.
