Kick-off party Nov. 5 at Perdido Sports Bar

The Frank Brown Songwriters Fest Eastside kick-off party will be held Nov. 5 from 6 – 9 p.m. at the Perdido Sports Bar on Perdido Key. All songwriters welcome and Bo Roberts will be the host. A Westside kick-off party will be held during those same hours at the Sanbar.
The kick-off event will continue in the Flora-Bama Main Room from 10:15 p.m. – 2 a.m. with Dallas Moore hosting.
The FBISF kick-off was originally billed as a local songwriters appreciation night and was brought to the fest in the early 1990’s by then Characters owner Elaine Webster. Gale & Larry Book, songwriters themselves, continued the tradition when they bought and re-named the bistro Characters Songwriters Cafe in 1999. Characters, like most of Perdido Key, washed away during Hurricane Ivan in September of 2004. .
