Music City Hit-Makers Release ‘Songs & Symphony’ Project

Music City Hit-Makers will release their debut EP Songs & Symphony on June 4. The EP features some of Nashville’s most successful writers including Brett James, Jessi Alexander, Chris DeStefano, Hillary Lindsey, Marcus Hummon and Rivers Rutherford, who have penned hits for Kelly Clarkson, Kenny Chesney, Carrie Underwood, Miley Cyrus and countless other stars.

To celebrate the release of Songs & Symphony, MCHM’s Chris DeStefano, Rivers Rutherford and Marcus Hummon will be performing an EP release show on June 4 at City Winery in Nashville.

MCHM, often referred to as “the most famous people you’ve never heard of,” features Nashville’s biggest writers performing their hits as arranged for a symphony by award-winning studio musician and arranger Charlie Judge.

“Nashville is the epicenter of great songwriting, so the top songwriters in Nashville really are the best in the business,” says Judge. “It is my incredibly good fortune to have the opportunity to work with these talented writers, both as a keyboardist in the studio recording their hits, and as an arranger re-casting their songs for orchestra.”
