Frank Brown Foundation For Music The Frank Brown Foundation for Music is a 501c3 non profit organization dedicated to the education and inspiration of youth in Baldwin County, AL and Escambia County, FL. One aspect of the Foundation’s mission statement is “to reach into schools to enrich lives and encourage creativity through music.” During the Festival and throughout the year, songwriters are hosted, not only in venues, but also in local classrooms and the annual Youth Seminar sponsored by Lulu’s and hosted by the City of Gulf Shores at the Cultural Center.

The Frank Brown Foundation for Music provides opportunities for children to meet the writer behind a song they know and love, and through that interaction, to learn that they may have the capacity, ability and opportunity to enhance lives through their own words and music.

The Frank Brown Foundation for Music also provides scholarships for students to pursue higher educational opportunities and to follow their dreams while creating music as well as donates instruments to local schools music programs.

Frank Brown Songwriters Festival In-Schools Outreach Program The Frank Brown International Songwriters Festival, along with the Frank Brown Foundation for Music, will once again be offering their In-Schools Outreach to area schools, free of charge. The FBISF In-Schools Outreach program places a professional songwriter into the classroom to speak to students of all ages, combining performance as well as, an interactive question and answer segment about the industry and songwriting as a career. Via the ‘Writer in Residence’ segment, presenters work with students on their own compositions as a path to self-expression, creativity and to develop greater cognitive skills. Programs such as this benefits students in a variety of ways, including building self-esteem, critical thinking, collaboration, communication, Mathematics, English and vocabulary. This program is a fun way for students to learn and develop these proficiencies. Per the program Director, Karen E. Reynolds: “Our goal is for the student’s excitement for writing to carry on outside the presentation and allow them to build skills that will benefit them far beyond the classroom." Interested sponsors, teachers, as well as, music directors are welcome to email FBISFoutreach@gmail.com for information and scheduling, or visit www. frankbrownsongwriters.com.

Special thanks to folks who have served in our Festival in the past. Including but not limited to past Directors Brucie Glassell and Kent Sanderson. Peggy Butler, widow of Larry Butler, is a huge influence in getting great musicians and connections within the music business. Also, Richard Hartley, our esteemed Legal advisor, and a BIG thank you to both Linda Ponder and PatsyAnne Stout for their years of dedication and volunteering. Linda and PatsyAnne exemplify all that is great about the heart of the Festival and helping in the community.

We will always remember Mr. Frank Brown, the Flora-Bama night watchman, for whom the Festival is named.

Our special thanks to songwriters who have always taken the time to come to our community and share their passion and love of music with us.

This year, we make a special effort to acknowledge those of Native American Heritage and have participated in the Festival. Wild Bill Emerson (a legendary character) well represents the 20+ writers of Native American Heritage in our Festival. We would like to remind everyone that November is Native American Heritage Month.

Thank you to the venues, organizations and individuals who consistently go above and beyond to help promote and donate financially to the Festival. Thank you to all the listeners who eagerly attend venues each year to enjoy almost 2 weeks of original lyrics and music.

Unfortunately, each year we lose some of our writers and volunteers including longtime festival participant C.J. Watson and dedicated attendee/volunteer, Ross Reishus, whose widow Beverly continues to participate in the Festival.

In closing, we hope those who take part in FBISF this year including songwriters, volunteers, and guests, go forth into the world and spread some cheer—the world needs it!

We are proud to bring these good people together in our community.
