Last Thursday, BMI kicked off its newest songwriter series with a packed crowd at the Listening Room Cafe. Designed to showcase tomorrow’s top hits today, the first installation of “Know Them Now” featured performances from rising hitmakers Chase McGill, Daniel Ross, Mike Walker and Driver Williams. An intimately engaged audience was treated to radio hits like William’s “Smoke A Little Smoke” (Eric Church), heartbreakers like McGill’s “When Someone Stops Loving You” (Little Big Town), recent cuts like Walker’s “American Nights” (Lee Brice) and a special appearance from American Idol winner, Trent Harmon alongside Ross. The crowd’s cries for more were met with an additional round of songs from the writers for a total of five songs each. Set to continue this spring, “Know Them Now” will return to the Listening Room on April 12 with more details to come soon.
