May 3 - May 7, 2023 (Key West, Florida)
​The Key West Songwriters Festival is the largest festival of its kind in the world. Since 1997 BMI has been a charter 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 of more than 20 free shows, staged at an array of the island's most popular drinking holes and hot spots. Diverse lineups featuring more than 100 top songwriters deliver rare, "Key West-only" moments.

​200+ artists
​50+ shows

3000 Palm Coast PKWY SE
​Palm Coast, FL 32137
May 4 - May 7, 2023 (Palm Coast, Florida)
Unlike other musical festivals where audience members listen to song after song from a full band, the Palm Coast Songwriters Festival provides a unique, more intimate experience between the artist and the listener as the songwriters will often share the meaning behind their lyrics.​
 
For the 2020 festival, more than 25 artists will be performing. This 4-day event allows the audience to go ‘behind the curtain’ and see the faces and hear the songs and stories behind some of the most popular songs of yesteryear and playing on the radio today. These artists will be performing their hits for festival attendees. ​
 
In 2019, Grammy-nominated, platinum selling, billboard hit songwriters from Nashville treated local guests and many attendees from out of town to awesome performances and insights into their music during the second annual Palm Coast Songwriters Festival in May. Thank you to everyone who came to the festival! We appreciate the artists, our sponsors and partners and the fans who made the Palm Coast Songwriters Festival 2019 unforgettable. We look forward to seeing everyone this year with our expanded lineup of HIT songwriters

The Rhythm & Ribs Festival was founded by St. Augustine Sunrise Rotary in 1995 as an event from which all proceeds are donated to charitable organizations for local and international service-oriented projects, as well as providing a fun-filled weekend for the whole community.

What began as a small Barbeque Fest (its original name) has grown each year and attracts music lovers and barbeque aficionados from all over the Southeast and beyond. Over 25,000 visitors come to enjoy the fun over the Festival weekend.

As the Festival has grown, the music lineup has expanded to include headliners such as Travis Tritt, JJ Grey & MOFRO, Sister Hazel, Rusted Root, Leon Russell, Dave Mason, and the Marshall Tucker Band, along with many well-loved local and regional musicians.

Del Fest

11400 Moss Ave.
Cumberland, MD 21502
​May 26–May 29, 2022 (Cumberland, Maryland)
Dates for 2023 TBD

DelFest is held at the beautiful Allegany County Fairgrounds in Cumberland, MD (2.5 hrs from Baltimore and DC). 
 
The festival originated from the desire to create a family-friendly music festival celebrating the rich legacy of McCoury Music while creating a forum for world-class musical collaborations and to showcase fresh new talent with a down-home feeling.
 
Personally chosen by Del, the Allegany County Fairgrounds in Cumberland, MD served as the perfect location for DelFest–nestled along the Potomac River in the scenic Appalachian Mountains, the Fairgrounds are convenient to four major airports and easily reached by rail or road. The city of Cumberland is also a great host offering multiple hotel options, a charming downtown and great amenities including biking, a steam train engine and museum, and some top-notch dining.
 
In addition to traditional stage sets by these world-class artists, attendees can again expect to see one-of-a-kind collaborations, special guest sit-ins, various tributes to Del McCoury and his musical legacy, intimate appearances, both at unique “playshops”—informal workshops where the emphasis will be on performance rather than instruction—and in late night indoor performances and picking sessions. Delfest will be immediately preceded by a 3-day Music Academy hosted by The Travelin’ McCourys and other all star players.
