FLORENCE – Well, the WC Handy Music Festival, 2016 Edition, is in full swing. Hot temps and hot tunes! The Quad-Cities Daily was out and about sampling the events and taking some photos. We plan to be all over The Shoals this next week, so be on the lookout for our cameras.
We started the tour at the Florence/Lauderdale Library where music insider Andreas Werner presented at panel discussion with four of our area’s most prolific songwriters. Peanutt Montgomery, Scott Boyer, Donnie Fritz, and Mickey Buckins held a lively talk about their careers in music here in Muscle Shoals and around the world. Great discussion!
A bit later, at Champy’s for lunch the Quad-Cities Daily snapped some pics of three young guys from California, Porcelain Hill. Great band! They are playing at McFarland Park later this week. Don’t miss them…
On the Rocks was packed later in the afternoon by festival-goers who stopped in to hear Travis Wammack and the Snakeman Band. They played some seriously wicked Rock ‘n Roll!
