Legendary Songwriter Series at SAMFA: Kelly Mickwee

San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts Launches

Legendary Songwriter Series

Collaborative Effort with Green Apple Music Series to Highlight the Stories Behind the Songs

Memphis-raised and Austin-based songwriter Kelley Mickwee will be the guest artist for the first session in the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts’ new and innovative Legendary Songwriter Series.

Beginning at 1:30 PM. on Sunday, May 31, in the SAMFA Grand Hall, the program will feature SAMFA Director Seth Hopkins asking Mickwee questions about her growing up years, how she got into music, her writing process and the inspiration behind some of her favorite songs. Mickwee will also play some or all those songs as the interview progresses.

Mickwee will be in San Angelo to open for Brandy Clark as part of the Green Apple Music Series on Saturday night, May 30, at the Brooks and Bates Theater. Kicking off the collaboration between Green Apple and SAMFA, she will then stay over to do the songwriter session on Sunday afternoon.

“I think this is a great way to learn more about the art of songwriting and hear the inspiration behind the songs,” said Hopkins. “You can go to the concert Saturday night, and then learn much more about the artist and the meaning of the songs on Sunday.”

“This is a new venture for us,” said Green Apple Founder Craig Pfluger. “We are pleased to be partnering with SAMFA to bring more original music to San Angelo and encourage songwriters.”

Tickets for the songwriter session are $10 for SAMFA members and Green Apple Sponsors or $15 for the public. Tickets can be purchased on Eventbrite or from the Museum Gift Shop.

Tickets for the Mickwee and Clark concert are $40 and available on the Green Apple website, greenapplemusic.com.
