"The 30A Songwriters Festival has quickly gained a reputation among musicians as a forum for true songwriters to perform their self-penned songs as well as established performers to showcase their original compositions," says Russell Carter, 30A Songwriters Festival chair and producer and owner of Russell Carter Artist Management. "We book artists with diverse musical styles. Our emphasis is the art of the song.”
Three-day passes give you access to more than 200 performances and every official Festival Venue ($150) and all proceeds benefit the Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County.
