Free Show: Nashville Unplugged

Posted on 13 January 2010

If you like country music, then Nashville Unplugged: The Story Behind the Song is made for you. Friday, January 15, 2010 at Green Valley Ranch Casino head to Ovation for a great free show.

Doors at 7:15 pm featuring “Songs from a Hat” and the show starts at 8 pm.

Aptly called Nashville Unplugged, this show is based on the concept of getting to know what’s behind the song, similar to the famed Bluebird Café in Nashville .

Each month features a songwriter who goes through the process of what went into writing a particular song and then performs it at the show. January’s featured songwriters are David Lee Murphy and Rob Crosby. Murphy is both a singer and songwriter, having written his own songs “Dust on the Bottle” and “The Road You Leave Behind” as well as for other artists, including Kenny Chesney’s “Living in Fast Forward” and Jason Aldean’s “Big Green Tractor.” Crosby is the other featured songwriter and has written the songs “Concrete Angel” for Martina McBride and “Holdin’ a Good Hand” for Lee Greenwood.

Each month is hosted by singer/songwriters Brian McComas who wrote and sang “99.9% Sure (I’ve Never Been Here Before)” and Aaron Benward of Blue County who wrote and sang “Good Little Girls.” Another fun aspect of Nashville Unplugged is “Songs from a Hat” where guests that arrive between 7:15 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. can make up a title to a song and place the suggestion in a hat. The songwriters will pick one title from that hat and then pen a song throughout the course of the evening, to be performed at the end.

Must be 21+.
