The Bridge Island Sessions - A 90 Minute Songwriters Showcase
Hear the Songs. Meet the Writers. Hear Their Stories.
Five songwriters from across the country are coming together in Florida for the inaugural Bridge Island Writers Retreat — a week dedicated to writing, creating and collaborating.
Then, for one night only, they’re bringing the songs from that week to the stage at Eaton’s Beach.
Join Emma Forgette, Courtney Bach, Christina Crystal, Clay Brooker and Cliff Dorsey for an intimate 90-minute songwriter-style showcase featuring original music, the stories behind the songs, and a look inside the creative process that brought them to life.
Hosted by special guest emcee Krystle Nicole, the evening concludes with a 30-minute artist Q&A, giving guests an opportunity to hear even more from the writers behind the music.
