Join us Saturday for two incredible songwriters rounds featuring some of the most talented and successful country music writers in the industry. It's a rare opportunity to hear the original versions of some of your favorite hits and learn about the creative process of the artists who wrote them.

Admission is included with ALL two-day Summer Country Showdown passes. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see some of the best songwriters in country music share their songs and stories behind them. You can find the latest songwriters rounds schedule here.
