A record crowd of more than 2,000 gumbo lovers turned out on a cool but sunny Florida day for the 24th annual Sandesatin Gumbo Festival at the Village of Baytowne Wharf. Eighteen teams competed for prizes in several categories.
The Waylon Thibodeaux Band played zydeco music while the crowd kicked up their heels and relaxed on the lawn.

We've been following our friend, filmmaker Elam Stoltzfus' journey over the past year on his travel along the length of the state on the Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition. Elam is hard at work editing the documentary and this movie trailer is the first look. It's fantastic and we can't wait to see more.
The world premiere is Sunday, March 3, 2013 in Tampa

A loving and quick look back at last month's 30A Songwriters Festival.
The 2013 30A Songwriters Festival was held on a perfect SoWal weekend. Sunny skies and mid-seventies greeted songwriters and fans on Sunday. Indoor and outdoor venues up and down Scenic 30A were filled with music lovers and writers who perform their own music, and performers who write their own songs.
The SoWal.com staff was out in full force capturing images, notes, and memories of a wonderful music-filled weekend.

One of our favorite local bands was the talk of the 30A Songwriters Festival recently. In this video, The Owsley Brothers play "200 Miles" on the Caliza stage in Alys Beach.
Hailing from the Gulf Coast of Florida The Owsley Brothers Began as the Bedroom Recording project of multi-instrumentalist J.E. Reynolds. Armed with a cheap guitar, half a drum kit and an 8-track recorder, Reynolds crafted Last Years Acclaimed EP Pure Lust.
