Many members of Nashville’s music community were in Key West, FL last week and through the weekend for the 15th annual Better Angels Music Key West Songwriters Festival.

Among the intimate shows was the Thurs., April 29 performance at the historic San Carlos Institute Theater. Hosted by BMI’s Jody Williams, the sold-out event featured three back-to-back sets from stacked lineups swapping stories and songs: Rebecca Lynn Howard and Kim Carnes; Tom Douglas and Bob DiPiero; and Jamey Johnson, Robert Earl Keen, and Raul Malo.
