CMA Songwriters Series Visits Joe’s Bar in Chicago

August 3, 2015/by Lorie Hollabaugh

The Windy City got a touch of Music City magic last week when the CMA Songwriters Series brought top country tunesmiths to Joe’s Bar in Chicago Thursday night (7/30). Songwriters Jim Collins, Ryan Hurd, Brett James, and Lee Thomas Miller took the stage for the special songwriters round to share the stories behind their hits with the packed house. The show is part of the eleventh season of CMA’s Songwriters Series, which kicked off in January at the Sundance Film Festival.
