Welcome

The South by Southeast Music Feast is a local non-profit/charitable organization formed in 2003
by a group of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina area music lovers and educators
to preserve and promote American music not usually heard in traditional venues.

Our mission is to provide assistance and support to local music education programs with our goal
to offset some costs associated with the musical education of young people in our area.
In this time of budget cuts and strangulation of funding for the arts,
our goal is to help young people in their pursuit of the joys of music.

"And, in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."

Randall Hill, Sun-News musicologist/photographer, has put together a very cool
3-part video blog about our big guy Jeff. Check it out.

Kevin Gordon in Concert, August 14th

Kevin Gordon will be singing the blues at the August South by Southeast Music Feast at the historic Myrtle Beach Train Depot.

Over the course of twenty years of writing, recording and touring, Kevin Gordon has built an impressively consistent catalog of songs, a critically acclaimed stack of albums, and a reputation for dynamic live performances that make first-time listeners life-long fans.

His current CD, "o Come Look at the Burning", climbed to the top 10 of the Americana radio chart and continues to receive significant airplay on XM/Sirius satellite radio. Playboy magazine says, "(this album) may be the least classifiable of the (Nashville Underground) lot, but perhaps the best, with a strange assortment of swamp rock, blues and literate lyrics."

Gordon's songs have been recorded by Keith Richards, Levon Helm, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Dukes, Irma Thomas, Webb Wilder, Kate Campbell, and others. His recordings have been featured in major motion picture soundtracks and in national advertising campaigns.*
