See below for web address: celebrating its 15th year, the Key West Songwriters Festival is the largest festival of its kind in the world. Since 1997, BMI has a charter sponsor of the festival and helped to grow into both a tourist attraction and a favorite of the island locals. The festival revolves around five days and nights of more than 20 free performances, staged in a series of the most popular on the island drinking holes and hot spots, where music bliss masses live leads to the faces, voices and stories behind the songs. Various configurations with more than 100 top songwriters deliver rare “Key West-only” moments: Informal adaptations Nashville signature in-the-round acoustic showcases dominate much of the schedule, while an event-capping street concert adds an enticing Mardis Gras boost in the mix.
