Franklin County is in for a treat this weekend, when “Nashville Comes to Carrabelle” takes over Fathoms. During this event, Fathoms is partnering with Dan Hodges, Music, LLC to present two evenings full of great music, performed by writers whose work has made it to the stage via some big names.
The event is Free. It begins at 8:00 p.m. each night (Friday, August 15 and Saturday, August 16). There will be two sets each evening that will feature all artists performing original material. The third and final set will be all of the artists performing cover material while you dance!
The writers will be:

Great pictures and a great event…I cannot remember the last time I had a great time with music. I used to…I need to get back there.
Same here!! It was probably when I heard Stacy Mitchart back at BB King’s in Nashville a few years ago. It is quite a lesson to learn how much blood sweat and tears goes into writing the material that makes it to the stage! Thanks for the comment.
This sounds like an amazing event. I definitely wish I lived close enough to go. I am slightly addicted to local community concerts and am fortunate that they have quite a few where I live. Have an amazing time and be sure and share it with all of us!
It does sound great, doesn’t it? I wish wish wish I could promise to share my post-concert impressions with everyone but I don’t think I am going to be able to go. 🙁
I wish I could go! I’ve actually never been to Nashville but I would love to check it out!
I wish I could have gone too! So interesting to get exposed to the writers behind the “big” (and some “little”) songs!
