There was something for everyone over the three days of the third annual 30A Songwriters Festival. Nonstop music in great venues indoors and out along the world's most beautiful beaches.
Lucky ticket holders were treated to more than 125 songwriters and over 250 performances in venues ranging from intimate listening rooms to spacious outdoor amphitheaters.
SoWal.com staff and contest winners covered it all and we'll be posting lots of stories, photos and videos in the coming days so stay tuned.

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.
The tradition continues into the first two months of 2012 and beyond. We love the look of this year's poster series by local SoWal artist David DeGregorio.

South Walton is almost always filled with shiny, happy people visiting our beautiful beaches. Every early morning each year on January first, the beach behind WaterColor Inn & Resort is crowded with folks who are shinier and happier than the norm, eager to start the New Year with a splash by taking a chilly dip in the Gulf of Mexico.
The water is cold but the spot is hot on New Year's morning behind the WaterColor Inn & Resort at 8 AM Sunday January 1, 2012. Ring in the new year in a fun and crazy way. Long-sleeve T-shirts avaialble for purchase for $20.
