The story

Will McLean Music Festival in Brooksville

The Will McLean Music Festival at Florida Sand Music Ranch celebrates acoustic music and stories rooted in Florida. Covered stages, workshops, jam areas, youth and children's activity and a contra dance shape the weekend, while the Best New Florida Song contest asks writers to create work clearly connected with the state. The recurring practices—Florida-focused song performances, Best New Florida Song contest, and workshops jams and contra dancing—tie the public program to the place and the people who sustain it.

Under the covered stages at a Florida ranch, one song names a river, another remembers a disappearing place, and a late-night circle carries both beyond the microphone.
