About the Festival
The Myrtle Beach Songwriters Festival, a program of The Songs That Save Foundation, exists to unite artists and audiences through the power of original music while strengthening our community through service. Our mission is built on three pillars—Hunger, Hope, and Health—which guide every aspect of our work. Through partnerships that fight food insecurity, programs that place instruments in the hands of children and teach them to write their own songs, and initiatives that support the well-being of working musicians, we strive to create meaningful change—one song, one story, one shared space at a time.
