Word of [South] is a unique blend of writers and musicians and an exploration of the relationship between the two disciplines.
Beginning with our first festival in 2015, the festival showcases authors who write about music, musicians who also are authors, authors and musicians trading places, and everything in between.
We’re especially proud of our “mu-aushups”: authors and
musicians appearing together (some of whom have never met), as well as
our cookbook authors, kids programming and musical performances of every
genre-- gospel and HipHop, pop and bluegrass, jazz and
country, Americana and R&B.
