Folk Alley will be on site throughout the weekend interviewing artists and filming and recording performances in a home studio on 30A. Edited 30A Songwriters Festival segments will be aired on Live From Folk Alley's syndicated radio show and on their website and mobile app throughout the year. As part of Southern Living's 50th Anniversary Celebration partnership, the magazine is sending a production team to the 30A Songwriters Festival to film interviews with musicians, which will be featured in their 50 Favorite Things About South Walton and Biscuits and Jam Series.

These are the REAL 30A music places......year round .....


Tip for the weekend of Songwriters: There is a TON of great music going on all weekend during the festival, apart from the festival, at local restaurants everywhere. Check The Red Bar, Local Catch, Marie's Bistro, Cafe Thirty-A, Baytowne spots, etc. No ticket needed! And you never know who will show up on the stages at any given place at any given time.

Love all the music going on around the #30AFest! Many regular local performances in addition to special shows such as Cafe Thirty-A and Acme Ice House. Dismal Creek tonight at The Red Bar, Forrest Williams Band today at Local Catch... Dread at The Red Bar NOW (and Southern Living is there doing video footage), Stinky's had additional shows this weekend, and so many others in and around the festival. All on SoWal Music Calendar.

This is a great time of year to get out and hear live music while supporting our local restaurants in SoWal, Destin and PCB! More live music coming up at Baytowne Gumbo Festival (zydeco!) and the music continues year round at Pandora's, The Red Bar, Funky Blues Shack, Local Catch, Marie's Bistro, The Bay....
