Inaugural Downtown St. Petersburg Songwriters Festival Attracts Thousands
The 1st annual Downtown St. Petersburg Songwriters Festival presented by BMI and Cox Media Group was a huge success, featuring 35 BMI songwriters performing in over 100 shows in a variety of venues throughout downtown.
The festival took place Nov. 1-3 and a highlight featured a special acoustic performance by Ed Roland and Jesse Triplett of Collective Soul. One of the major goals of the event is to drive traffic to downtown St. Petersburg during a traditionally slow time of year to help give back to the BMI-licensed music venues in the area that support BMI songwriters through their paid licensing fees.
A portion of the festival proceeds went to benefit the music therapy department at Johns Hopkins Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg.
