Suddenly the new year isn't so far off! We're already getting some great events for January, including The 30A Songwriters Festival in Walton County, Fla. on Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend. The festival brings together songwriters of all sorts and levels from across the country, some with worldwide fame and some just breaking through, giving music fans a great chance to catch some legends while discovering a new favorite. And the venue can't be beat – the gorgeous Emerald Coast, with its white beaches!

Tickets for the event are available now at Ticket Alternative.
