Hear the songs you know from the people who wrote them during the St. Augustine Songwriters Festival. This free, four-day festival brings acclaimed Nashville songwriters, rising artists and local talent to intimate venues throughout historic downtown St. Augustine. Part of the annual Sing Out Loud Festival, performances pair live music with the stories and inspiration behind the songs.
The St. Augustine Songwriters Festival puts the people behind the music in the spotlight. Songwriters perform their own songs, share how they came to life and offer audiences a behind-the-scenes look at the songwriting process.
Rather than a traditional concert experience, performances are held in intimate settings where audiences can hear familiar hits and original music while discovering the stories, collaborations and experiences that inspired them.
Performances take place Thursday through Sunday at venues throughout downtown St. Augustine. The schedule features multiple performances each day, making it easy to catch favorite songwriters and discover new artists throughout the weekend.
The festival features performances at five venues in historic downtown St. Augustine:
With performances concentrated in the downtown area, festivalgoers can enjoy live music while exploring St. Augustine’s restaurants, shops, historic sites and attractions between shows.
The St. Augustine Songwriters Festival is part of Sing Out Loud Festival, St. Augustine’s annual month-long celebration of live music.
Held each September, Sing Out Loud brings local, regional and national artists to venues throughout St. Augustine and St. Johns County for free concerts, special events and music-focused experiences.
