Connect with Chef Jim Richard

In this episode we connect you with Chef Jim Richard. It’s January in Walton County, and we cannot think of a more relevant subject than music - more specifically live music in Walton County. And while you may know Chef Jim Richard for his culinary expertise - the locals know how instrumental he has been in nurturing our unique live music community. As the founder of Stinky’s Fish Camp and Stinky’s Bait Shack on the west side of 30A, Jim has spent decades building -lifting up local musicians - not only by hosting live music daily at his award-winning music venues but helping them stay employed in slow seasons. He inspired other business owners to make live music a part of their mix - creating an unusual culture where live music is almost always free to experience. Sometimes a standard that makes ticketed events a hard sell for locals. If you don’t know, Stinky’s Bait Shack is a renowned music venue doubling as a live bait and tackle shop, breakfast stop, and full bar unlike anything else in Walton County or Northwest Florida for that matter.

We are grateful that he has taken a detour from his crazy schedule to talk to us today about Swamp Writers Music Fest, a microfestival that started 15 years ago and runs mostly simultaneously to the prestigious 30A Songwriters Festival beginning next week in mid January. We learn about how it all began and get a sense for his passions - and we find out how he plans to spend some of his time now that he's passed the torch to new owners.

Fasten your seatbelt, turn up the volume and get connected with a local icon, Chef Jim Richard.
