In addition to ticketed events, attendees can enjoy over 50 free shows throughout the island in bars, restaurants, resort beaches, cafes, and hotel pools."We're excited for another year of collaborating with BMI and the amazing venues across the island to highlight the industry's best songwriting talent," said Kyle Muehlhauser, owner of the Key West Songwriters Festival and Rams Head Presents.
