Wire & Wood Songwriters Festival Kickoff Party at Avalon

Thursday, October 15, 2015

For the past few years the city of Alpharetta has hosted their annual Wire & Wood Songwriters Festival. The music festival brings songwriters from across the country to the city to share their love. Songwriters aren’t usually well know to the general public. They are the ones that labor over every note and lyric while a popular musician usually performs the finished product. On Thursday people came out to Avalon for the kickoff party featuring performances by Liz Longley and The Whiskey Gentry. For two hours the songwriters crooned to the crowd and explained some of the stories behind their songs.
