See You At The Fête

Join us TONIGHT from 5 - 7 p.m. at the Miramar Beach Creative Campus, home to The Foster Gallery and J. Leon Studio. With over 30 exhibitors, from jewelry makers to sculptors, there is something for everyone at this fun-filled event. And the best part is that it's free! Meet the featured artists from our Winter Rotation as you enjoy light bites and live music from Caitlin Cannon, the first 30A Songwriters Festival Songwriter in Residency, while strolling the gallery to view incredible works on display and available for purchase. The 15th annual 30A Fest event is scheduled for January 12 - 15th and tickets are going fast. Get yours at 30ASongwritersFestival.com before they're gone! The Miramar Beach Creative Campus is open Tuesday - Saturday from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. For a list of Creative Campus events and classes, visit the CAA website.

Shortly after Caitlin Cannon took third place honors at this year’s Telluride Bluegrass festival, Saving Country Music published these prophetic words, “She’s not a songwriter for the winners. She’s a songwriter for the broken, the downtrodden, the losers, the motherf—. She sings about real sh— that most other songwriters don’t have the guts to broach. A crack pool player and a hilarious person on stage that could have a second career as a comedian, Caitlin Cannon is one of those country artists that slides so criminally under the radar, it angers the blood…”

While Cannon has done her share of winning (Songwriter Serenade 1st Place 2023) her ambitions do seem to reflect the above review. Inspired by the 33 year-to-date incarceration of her brother, she created a songwriting program in partnership with the Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County (30A) that holds a residency for her at Walton Correctional where she teaches inmates to write songs.
