Two
Music Festivals...
at the crossroads of Country, Rock and Soul.
July 23-29, 2006
In Conjunction With
"A
Celebration of Muscle Shoals Music"
    
Welcome
to Songfest. A four-day International Music Festival, Songfest 2006
is held in beautiful Muscle Shoals, Alabama, on the banks of the
Tennessee River, called "Singing River" by the native
Americans who once inhabited the area. We think you'll find that
appropriate!
From July 23rd-29th, 2006 the Shoals Area will come alive with musical
events designed to educate and entertain. Devotees of musical history
will be astounded by the legends who have agreed to participate
in this year's Festival. Panels will be staffed by experts who have
molded and shaped the music industry. Performances will feature
unequaled talent. The event is going to be huge.
