Our Story

Music for a Mission

Carter Hamric is a Nashville native who fell in love with Naples back in 2021. On that trip, he met Mitch Vanderhagen in line at Bad Ass Coffee on Third Street South and a friendship was born. When Carter told Mitch, "Naples would be the perfect place for a songwriter festival," the two set out on a mission to not only host a great event with the best songwriters from Nashville, but to support incredible causes while doing it!


After four years, over 3,500 attendees, a nearly cancelled show due to a rare January rainstorm, and raising more than $220,000, we're planning our best year ever–and we really hope you'll be part of it.
