The Ozone Music Foundation returns with its annual Ozone Songwriter Festival, spotlighting over one hundred local, regional, and national songwriters—from skilled amateurs to #1 chart topping Nashville songwriters with songs you'll be surprised to recognize (Tim McGraw and Keith Urban don't write all of their songs)—while raising money for music youth education. The Ozone Songwriter Festival is the first of its kind, a three-day, Nashville-style songwriter circle music festival.
The melodies start with the songwriter showcase at Spoke & Barrel Brewpup on Friday, featuring headliner Jason Scheff—the lead vocalist for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-inducted supergroup Chicago; along with Emmy-winning festival founder Greg Barnhill and special guests Gabriel Broussard, Kim Cruse, and Morgan Myles—all top finalists of The Voice. Doors open at 6:45 pm; $60; $125 for VIP, which includes a meet and greet, dinner, and wine and beer.
Saturday and Sunday consist of the songwriters' workshops—focusing on Performance (Saturday 9–noon) and Home Studio & Professional Production (Sunday 10:30 am–12:30 pm). All the while, visitors can enjoy live performances featuring genres ranging from Country to Folk to Pop to Afro-Caribbean and everything in between at the Trailhead. All in all, the festival features over 150 performances over the course of its three days. And it's all free. ozonemusic.org.
