November 7, 2010 - Orange Beach, AL (OBA) - The 26th Annual Frank Brown International Songwriters Festival begins Thursday, November 11th and runs through the 21st. This years' Festival includes over 150 songwriters and musicians from all over the world. During this exciting 11 day festival, performers will play at 25 venues in Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, Perdido Key and Pensacola (venue map). Performers scheduled for this year's Festival include Grammy Award winning songwriters and the up and coming stars of tomorrow. Many of the songwriters are not household names, but their songs are.
The Festival began in November of 1984 and grew slowly each year until 1996. By 1996 word had spread throughout the country that the Alabama/Florida Gulf Coast was the place to be for songwriters to gather, collaborate, and give birth to new music. The year 1996 seemed to be the turning point where the Festival grew from a small gathering to so many songwriters that many had to be turned away.
