The Franklin Theatre’s monthly Songwriters Series took place last Thursday (Oct. 15) showcasing Black River Entertainment’s songwriters.

Hosted by Music Row veteran Lisa Harless, the show brought together songwriters Doug Johnson, Josh Kerr and Dan Wilson, along with guest performances from two of the label’s rising artists, MaRynn Taylor and John Cooper Albright.

During the event the trio of songwriters, whose credits include cuts by Randy Travis, Keith Urban, Kelsea Ballerini, Morgan Wallen and for KING & COUNTRY, treated the audience to an intimate evening of hits and the stories behind them before Taylor and Albright each took the stage for acoustic sets.
