Sam Bush and his band played on a gorgeous winter day of 75 degrees during the 30A Songwriters Festival at Gulf Place. Randall Bramblett brought his saxophone and joined the band on stage for a few tunes.
Sam wore a Stinky's Fish Camp T-shirt and thanked owner jim Richard for keeping him and the boys well fed. The band got started a little late so local favorite Dread Clampitt was unable to join him on stage as planned.
Here's the SoWal guide to all of the venues for the 2012 30A Songwriters Festival. The excitement is building and we have some excellent spots up and down Scenic 30A which will be full of great music. One of the best things about the festival is the great variety and uniqueness of all the venues.
