Word of South Festival

Writers and musicians from near and far gathered to explain and demonstrate their creative processes.

The event began in 2015 as a modest showcase for mostly local writers and musical performers.

The trio provides the underpinning for Clinton's legendary Parliament/Funkadelic ensembles.
