2025 Review:

*Another great time at the Isle of Palms Songwriters Festival! Thank you to all the Sponsors and Donors that made it possible. A special thanks to all the awesome artists who shared their wonderful original songs with us! And all for great causes….raising funds and awareness for the Lowcountry Orphan Relief, Girls on the Run Coastal SC, and the Lowcountry Music Scholarship programs. 🎶❤️🌴.
Congratulations to the winner of the $1,000 Lowcountry Music Scholarship, Will Hurley, for his song “Jacob’s Secret”. The Lucy Beckham High senior also won a free recording session with Magus Studio Productions.
A consolation prize was given to Wando High’s Adeline Majewski’s song “Waitin’ At My Door”. And thanks to the judges this year…who made up of two college radio dj’s and a Nashville songwriter.
Thank you Greg Norton Audio, Sammy Black for your immense help, Bret Jones of The Dinghy for having the event at the venue and to all these sponsors and donors.
