The Key West Songwriters Festival is the largest festival of its kind in the world. Where else can you get up close and personal with the top singer/songwriters and learn about the artists, songs, and stories? You’ll also enjoy the sights, sounds, and tropical vibe of island life.
In my opinion, that's one of the hardest things to do in songwriting: crafting a song that speaks to you but, at its core, is a simple concept. ~ Chris Young
