A Songwriters Workshop will start the day Saturday, May 4, at the Daytona State College Palm Coast Amphitheater as part of the Palm Coast Songwriters Festival. The Songwriters Workshop offers local and/or aspiring songwriters the opportunity to hear from some of the very best songwriters in America as they share best practices and answer questions from the audience. Your admission to the workshop is included with a ticket to the Songwriters Festival on Saturday.
Following the Songwriters Workshop, three local songwriters will take the stage to kick off the day’s performances with a one-hour round; taking turns telling their stories behind their songs and performing them. Local songwriters performing Saturday include:
· Taylor Phillips, a senior at Mantanzas High School who is dual enrolled at Daytona State College
· Michael Scerbo from Palm Coast
· Damon Pullias from Satellite Beach
Following their performance, festival attendees will be treated to 11 award-winning songwriters performing for a music-filled day.
The Palm Coast Songwriters Festival, which is May 3-5, will bring to the area 14 award-winning singers/songwriters to share their stories and perform some of their most popular songs. 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. This 3-day event allows the audience to go ‘behind the curtain’ and see the faces, listen to the voices and hear the stories behind some of the most popular songs of yesteryear and playing on the radio today.
The festival is at two outdoor venues – Daytona State College Palm Coast Amphitheater May 3-4, and the Palm Coast Arts Foundation stage May 5. At both venues there is a covered area, and the show will go on rain or shine. Coolers, firearms and pets are not permitted at the venues. Refreshments, including beer and wine, will be available to purchase at the event. The Daytona State College Palm Coast Amphitheater is located at 3000 Palm Coast Parkway SE, Palm Coast, Florida 32137. The Palm Coast Arts Foundation stage is located at 1500 Central Avenue, Palm Coast, Florida 32164.
