NASHVILLE - Since its debut in 2005, the CMA Songwriters Series at Joe's Pub has established itself as one of New York City's most popular and intimate nights of music. Due to popular demand, the series is back for a fourth year to highlight Nashville's internationally-renowned songwriters.
"Since its inception, the CMA Songwriters Series has been a tremendous success," said CMA Chief Executive Officer Tammy Genovese. "Contrary to popular belief, New Yorkers are an enthusiastic audience for Country Music. The intimacy of Joe's Pub makes it the perfect venue to hear Nashville's songwriters perform their hits."
The 2008 series will begin Saturday, May 17 (7:00 and 9:30 PM/ET) with songwriting stars of "The Hitmen of Music Row," a television series for Great American Country (GAC). Bob DiPiero ("Blue Clear Sky" recorded by George Strait and "Take Me As I Am" recorded by Faith Hill), Tony Mullins ("How Forever Feels" recorded by Kenny Chesney and "Something's Gotta Give" recorded by LeAnn Rimes), Jeffrey Steele ("What Hurts the Most" recorded by Rascal Flatts and "Somethin' To Be Proud Of" recorded by Montgomery Gentry), and Craig Wiseman ("Live Like You Were Dying" recorded by Tim McGraw and "Believe" recorded by Brooks & Dunn) will perform from their catalog of hits as well as offer insight into the stories behind the songs.
