HOTEL CAROLINA ADDS THIRD LOCATION TO LINE-UP
Ultimate Singer-Songwriter Weekend Set To Rock St. Pete Beach, FL In February
Rock Ridge Music, the host of the successful annual singer-songwriter weekend festival known as Hotel Carolina, is expanding the Hotel Carolina brand by starting an exciting new event weekend scheduled to take place at the Postcard Inn in St. Pete Beach, FL, on February 1-2, 2013. Like the original South Carolina event (which has annually taken over The Windjammer on Isle of Palms for four years in late summer), and the Philadelphia event (which debuted in January 2012), the St. Petersburg weekend will feature the best in touring singer-songwriters. The inaugural Hotel Carolina: St. Pete Beach event will feature the following artists (with more to be announced): Brendan James, Matt Duke, Griffin House, Michael Tolcher, Ari Hest, Garrison Starr, Sarah Miles, Bracher Brown, Ken Yates, and Jacob Jeffries.
Tickets for Hotel Carolina: St. Pete Beach go on sale to the public on November 26, 2012 (www.welcometothehotelcarolina.com), and they are priced at $89.99 for the weekend, which includes two full days of acoustic music on a poolside stage. Rooms are being offered at the Postcard Inn for a special event rate of $99 per night. Hotel Carolina is open to fans 21 years of age or older.
Dates for the other 2013 Hotel Carolina event weekends have been set; Philadelphia is scheduled to take place May 3-4, 2013 (venue TBA), while the flagship Isle of Palms, SC event at the Windjammer will take place September 19-21, 2013. Hotel Carolina events are a dream come true for lovers of singer-songwriter music of all types: fans get to see all of their favorites on one stage over the course of each event.
Says Rock Ridge Music partner/GM Cynthia Cochrane about adding St. Pete Beach to the Hotel Carolina destinations: “Rock Ridge Music is thrilled to be adding another beachfront location to the Hotel Carolina calendar and extremely happy to have the Postcard Inn as our partner in our first self-contained event. We know that PCI’s laid back, retro chic vibe, combined with our amazing line-up of artists, will provide new and past HC attendees with a magical weekend of sun, surf and song. That it’s happening in Florida in the middle of winter is just one more enticement.”
Fans can follow Hotel Carolina on Twitter (www.twitter.com/HotelCarolina) and on Facebook (www.facebook.com/HotelCarolina). Hotel Carolina also has a YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/thehotelcarolina), where performances from past events have been posted and where artists from this year’s events will post greetings and video messages leading up to the each of the weekends.
