Nashville on the Coast, a five day songwriter’s festival at various venues throughout Orange County, is now in its fourth year. This festival, which is a benefit for Honor Flight Southland, which flies local veterans to Washington, DC to visit the memorials and monuments in their honor, has grown from three songwriters in its first year to over 40 writers this year. Daren DeLeon, Co-Founder of Nashville on the Coast, and Dan Franklin and Stephanie Wall, who make up the duo Franklin Wall, one of the participating artists, discuss this event.
