CMA Songwriter Series Returns To Nashville

Featuring RCA Nashville artist Chris Young (“Getting You Home,” “Drinkin’ Me Lonely”), the CMA Songwriters Series allows music fans insight into the stories behind some of their favorite songs. 2010 has been a banner year for Young, who earned his second consecutive No. 1 single and his very first CMA Award nomination for New Artist of the Year.

Joining Young will be Brett James (“The Man I Want To Be” recorded by Young, “Jesus, Take the Wheel” recorded by Carrie Underwood, and “When the Sun Goes Down” recorded by Kenny Chesney), Rivers Rutherford (“Real Good Man” recorded by Tim McGraw, “Ain’t Nothing ‘Bout You” recorded by Brooks & Dunn, and “When I Get Where I’m Going” recorded by Brad Paisley), and Craig Wiseman (“Hillbilly Bone” recorded by Blake Shelton and Trace Adkins, “Live Like You Were You Dying” recorded by Tim McGraw, and “She’s Got It All” recorded by Kenny Chesney).

“I’m really excited to be a part of such a great line-up of songwriters,”  Young said. “It will be extra special to be on stage with Brett James, the co-writer of my second No. 1, ‘The Man I Want To Be,’ and Craig Wiseman, one of my co-writers on my current single, ‘Voices.’ This is going to be a great night of music.”
