Cold River Artist Katie Armiger and Carolwood Records trio Love and Theft recently got together at Sound Kitchen Studios in Franklin to cowrite a song with Charleston, West Virginia’s Steve Schumacher, the grand prize winner in GAC’s Kapturing A Love Song with Katie Armiger contest. Schumacher, who was chosen from 50,000 entries, was flown to Nashville to write and record with cowriters Armiger and Love and Theft, who also co-produced the track. The resulting song, “I Guess That’s Love,” is available now exclusively at iTunes.
