Second Song Fest on tap
posted E-mail Story E-mail Story | Print Story Print Story 
The second-annual Ferriday Song Fest is scheduled for Saturday, October 24, at the Delta Music Museum Arcade Theater in downtown Ferriday.

"This is one of the most insightful, comprehensive and enlightening song writing events in Louisiana," said organizer and songwriter Tommy Polk. "Six hit writers with decades of experience in the music industry tell it like it was, like it is, and how they got into the game of song writing and stayed there."

Polk returned to Concordia Parish after 30 years in Nashville, Tennessee. He worked as a music publisher and talent scout for RCA records and as a professional songwriter for 20 of those years, penning "Look What Followed Me Home," by David Ball and "I Don't Want You to Go," by Carolyn Dawn Johnson.

He has also had songs recorded by Crystal Gayle, Martina McBride, Diamond Rio and Jessica Andrews.

As a writer of Southern Soul, he has had recordings by Bobby Blue Bland, Irma Thomas, Johnnie Taylor, Shirley Brown and Joe Louis Walker.
