The Key West Songwriters Festival – the largest festival of its kind in the world. Celebrating its 22nd year. Since 1997 BMI has been a presenting sponsor of the festival and has helped it grow into both a tourist attraction and favorite of island locals. The festival revolves around five days and nights where live music bliss introduces crowds to the faces, voices and stories behind the songs. – http://www.keywestsongwritersfestival.com/

The Key West Songwriter’s festival brings the Nashville Music Scene to Key West for one week.  Someone once told me that if you really want to learn how to write a song, move to Nashville.  Well, for one week Nashville comes to us. All the young and upcoming songwriters that fill the bars and theaters in Nashville on their quest for music stardom will fill every available stage in town culminating in a concert on Duval Street on Saturday May 13th in front of Sloppy Joes. Check out some videos from the headlining artists below.
