Power Of Music Festival Set For April In Arkansas

The 2018 Power Of Music Festival in Bentonville, Arkansas April 26-29 will feature Songwriters Hall of Fame members Tony Arata, Roger Cook, Randy Goodrum, Richard Leigh, Dennis Morgan, and Steve Dorff, whose induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame was just announced. A portion of festival proceeds will benefit songwriting programs in local area schools.

Additional performers will include indie-Americana trio The Accidentals, Nashville group Farewell Angelina, Latin rock ‘n’ roll band Making Movies, folk artist Steve Poltz, songwriter Jerry Salley, Keith Sykes, and Emmy-winning composer Jonathan Wolff, along with numerous local songwriters.

MusiCares, a charity of the Recording Academy that offers emergency financial assistance, addiction recovery resources, and wellness initiatives to members of the music industry, is partnering with the Power of Music Festival to provide eligible music pros with custom ear plugs as a walk-up service during the event.

The festival is presented by the I’ll Fly Away Foundation with its You Can Fly Songwriting Program, which brings established songwriters into schools to personally craft songs with students.
