Three Rooms of Song: A Hilton Listening Room ExperiencePensacola Beach Songwriters Festival | October 9th and 10th, 2026
Some of the songs you know by heart started in rooms just like these. As part of the 2026 Pensacola Beach Songwriters Festival, Hilton Pensacola Beach opens three intimate listening rooms where the writers behind those songs play them the way they were written, and share the stories behind each one.
The lineup includes Grammy-nominated and chart-topping writers whose songs have been recorded by Taylor Swift, Kelly Clarkson, Garth Brooks, Darius Rucker, Harry Connick Jr., Chris Stapleton, and Tim McGraw, along with rising voices just beginning to make their mark.
