This Tuesday night, March 30th, the Memphis Music Foundation hosted the first of a proposed series of songwriter showcases in partnership with the Nashville Songwriter’s Association International at the famous Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. The showcase also came with the added prestige of being a part of Tin Pan South, the music industry’s premiere professional songwriter showcase event.
The showcase was hosted by Music Foundation Chairman and former Stax Records executive Al Bell and Memphis-to-Nashville transplant Rivers Rutherford, a well-known songwriter responsible for numerous modern country chart toppers by the likes of Brooks & Dunn, Brad Paisley and Tim McGraw.
