Rooted in community and local connection, the festival exists to support musicians, create a welcoming gathering place, and bring live music to Myakka.
More than a single event, the festival reflects a bigger vision: neighbors, musicians, artists, and supporters coming together in a way that feels real, local, and meaningful.
This section can grow to include festival news, event details, sponsors, photos, guest information, and future plans.
The heart of the festival is simple: support local musicians and bring people together.
Memorial Songbook:
Handwritten song lists and lyric sheets from old songbooks preserved in sheet protectors. I made a new set of lyrics and chords from Ultimate Guitar. From cassette tape, I converted a radio show and a party recording into digital audio. Using LightScribe disks, I recorded CDs and etched the top with images. It is now a treasure for the entire family.
