November 21, 2008- Alabama/Florida Gulf Coast- It came and went so fast, but all good things must come to and — until next year, that is. And so, as the 24th annual Frank Brown Inter-national Song-writers' Festival wraps up this weekend, festival-goers can expect some great nights of music for the final three days. Below are a few notable events this weekend.
Perdido Beach Resort
The Perdido Beach Resort, 27200 Perdido Beach Blvd., Orange Beach, Ala., will present a day full of music with the Grand Reef Exhibit Hall Beach Party today from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The music starts with Riley Yielding, then continues with Camille Watson, Scott Sanford and C.J. Watson.
At 2 p.m., Roger Murrah (Murrah Music ITR) will perform. If you didn't get scheduled this year, step up to the microphone with guitar in hand for the open microphone session at 3 p.m.
Blues, say hello to rock 'n' roll
Upstairs at the Perdido Beach Resort Night Reef room, SESAC and ASCAP recording artists will take the stage. The line up includes Brian White, Jerry Salley, Larry Butler, Jim "Moose" Brown, Crystal Shawanda and others.
Also at the Perdido Beach Resort is the new "Rock and Roll Meets the Blues" event on Saturday in the Grand Reef room at 8 p.m. The two musical genres will collide with the music of local songwriter Rick Whaley, Beverly Jo Scott and Scotty Cothran. The house will be brought down at 10 p.m. with the sounds of the Original Flares, a superb bluesy, country and folk band.
