Fueled by advice from Barbara Cloyd (Bluebird Cafe) and Sheree' Spoltore' (Global Songwriters Connection) - along with encouragement from the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) - in December 2016 I launched a monthly Songwriter Showcase at Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row in Tempe, AZ.

 

Writers are selected based on their portfolio of original material and track record for performing live. Having featured nearly 30 writer/artists, it has become a catalyst for writing collaborations that are bringing a range of styles - and a little bit of Arizona - to Nashville. 

​

Featured writer/artists include Jacob Morris, Davey Arnold, Shari Rowe, Laura Walsh, Drew Cooper, Jeordie, Saydi Driggers, Erick Morina, Janae Dunn .... and the list keeps growing.
