BMI will join forces again with the Smokin’ Tuna Saloon to present the Key West Songwriter’s Festival from May 1-5, 2013. The event has become an annual pilgrimage south for many country and pop songwriters for the past 18 years.
This year’s list of performers includes Jeffrey Steele, Paul Overstreet, Bob DiPiero, Lori McKenna, Bobby Pinson, Chuck Cannon, Keith Stegall, Liz Rose, Paul Jenkins, James Slater, Doug Johnson and Even Stevens. Also performing are Steve Cropper, The World Famous Headliners (comprised of Pat McLaughlin, Shawn Camp and Al Anderson), Robert Earl Keen, Gary Clark, Jr., Guthrie Trapp and others to be announced in the coming weeks.
“BMI’s support of the Key West Songwriter’s Festival illustrates the commitment to our songwriters to put them in front of meaningful audiences to further expose their music,” said BMI’s Executive Director of Writer/Publisher Relations Mark Mason.
A free street concert on Saturday, May 4 will feature Sony artists Bush Hawg, Joanna Smith and X Factor winner Tate Stevens.
