The 2nd annual Southern Songwriter Festival is happening September 19-21, 2024 in downtown Summerville. The three-day original music festival features local and regional established songwriters from all over North and South Carolina.
Modeled after Nashville-style “Songwriters in the Round” experiences, festival attendees will enjoy a variety of original musicians, and get to hear the real life stories that influence the creation of a song.
The outside events are free and open to the public. The Listening Room Showcase is $15, fundraising for Network of Open Instrument Studios.
