Songwriters in the Round 2023

 Songwriters in the Round 
 By Shawn Snyder 

 Our 7th annual Songwriter’s in the Round event took place on August 19th in the Robbie Nutt “Circle of Friends” Indoor Arena. The event was a sellout for the 4th consecutive year! We would like to thank General Manager Dane Dobson and the entire Chuy’s team for providing delicious Tex-Mex for the event. The dessert of banana pudding was provided by Dead End BBQ.

​Following dinner, drinks, and barn tours, four of Nashville’s leading songwriters - Phillip Lammonds, Emily Brooke, Ryan Larkins, and Michael Farren - took turns telling stories and singing songs they have written for some of country music’s biggest stars. (Blake Shelton, Darius Rucker, Old Dominion, Tim McGraw, Dolly Parton, Lauren Daigle, and Kelsea Ballerini)

Presenting sponsor Evergreen Construction was treated to a meet and greet, where they were able to talk and mingle with the songwriters. 

This event has quickly become a hot ticket item in East Tennessee in August each year. Keep an eye on our website and social media because we hope you’ll make plans to join us next year!
