The 40th annual Frank Brown International Songwriters’ Festival will feature nationally acclaimed songwriters in venues along the Florida / Alabama Gulf Coast from November. The festival is an opportunity for seasoned and aspiring songwriters and musicians from all over the world to have their songs heard, and for the public to learn the stories behind the lyrics that only the song’s author can express.

Schedule:

9:30am - 10:30am: ABC's of Ecology at Orange Beach Public Library - BRING THE KIDS
The overall mission of the ABC’S Of Ecology books and music is to educate children about the issues threatening the environment today in a fun and entertaining way. The goal is to motivate them through stories and the songs to care for the planet and all living things. Our philosophy is that we are guests on this planet and we are given the task to care for it and its inhabitants for many generations to come.
