Dinner, Live Music with Wiley & Hundley, and Meet-n-Greet with Nashville Songwriter T.W. Hale

Wow! Two - no wait - THREE musicians?

That’s right! It’s our first Friday night of 2022 with Live music. What better way to kick it off than with THREE awesome musicians!

Why are we hosting a special songwriter?

Every February, the State of Tennessee holds a Songwriter’s Contest to celebrate our state’s biggest export: songs! The winner gets to perform their song at the famous Bluebird Cafe in Nashville (along with some other prizes). The Commodore Music Cafe hosts one of the Qualifying Rounds for this contest on Saturday, February 5, 2022. T.W. Hale is one of the judges we were able to procure. Upon further discussion, this Songwriting Workshop idea surfaced! T.W. hosts a workshop on Saturday, February 5, 2022, in order to help aspiring songwriters hone their craft.

The State has had to forgo the past 2 years of this contest, so we’re excited about this year!

Who is T.W.?

T.W. Hale has had songs recorded by artists Reba McEntire (Why Haven’t I Heard From You), George Jones (Smack Dab In The Middle of Love), Billy Ray Cyrus (Back To Memphis), Gene Watson (Snake In The House), Joe Diffie (A Night To Remember), Randy Travis (I’ll Be Right Here Loving You), Martina McBride, Trace Adkins, Rhett Akins, Jeffrey Steele and bluegrass artists Del McCoury and David Parmley among others.

T.W. was featured on a critically acclaimed Discovery Channel episode of the show “The Travelers” where he wrote and produced the hosts of the show on their single “Meant To Be”. His producing talents have been instrumental in the signings of artists Danni Leigh to Decca Records/Nashville and Dalia Garcia to Polygram Latino/Mexico, and he is producing a series of children’s sing-a-long audio and video projects.
