Presented by Good Earth Records, the concert brings together four Mississippi songwriters for an intimate “in-the-round” performance: 
Drew Young, Cary Hudson, Shelby Kemp, and Will Coppage.
 
Mississippi Musicians Month is a statewide celebration honoring the artists and traditions that have shaped the soundtrack of America.
 

Cary Hudson

 
Throughout March, communities across Mississippi gather to recognize a legacy rooted in Delta blues, country storytelling, roots music, and the enduring craft of songwriting.
 

Shelby Kemp

 
“When you put four writers in a room with nothing but guitars and stories, the walls start to lean in,” said producer Drew Young. “There are laughs. There are moments that hit you in the chest. It’s not a quiet, somber night — it’s the full emotional range that Mississippi music has always carried.”
 

Will Coppage

 
The Bay St. Louis Little Theatre, long a cornerstone of the Coast’s arts community, provides a setting where songs can be heard the way they were meant to be heard — close, honest, and shared.
