Favorite Florida Bands

I have been a musician, singer, songwriter for most of my life. I am currently on a musical break, but I continue to support fellow artists through the SSA, which is the Songwriter Showcases of America, based in Daytona Beach. This organization helps to provide venues where local artists can play and be heard. Below is a list of artists who participated in the 2009 Deland Original Music Festival, for a full list you can go to the SSA website at www.ssa.cc to find out more. You can find out about me and my music here: Gail Carson's Music

Below is an ever growing list of some of my favorite local Florida Bands who play original music, as well as covers, and a link to their website where you can hear their music, buy their cd's, and book them for your special event!
