Free Show: Nashville Unplugged

Posted on 17 February 2010

If you like country music, then Nashville Unplugged: The Story Behind the Song is made for you. Friday, February 19, 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.

February’s featured songwriters are Keith Anderson and Marc Beeson. Grammy-nominated songwriter Anderson is a famed country singer who got his industry start songwriting. Notable songs he penned for others, include the No. 1 hit “Lost In This Moment” recorded by Big & Rich, Grammy-nominated “Beer Run (B Double E Double Are You In)” recorded by Garth Brooks and George Jones and “The Bed” recorded by Gretchen Wilson. His own hits include “Pickin’ Wildflowers” and “Every Time I Hear Your Name,” among others. Beeson has had more than 100 songs cut throughout his career, which includes writing for the likes of Reba McEntire, Kenny Rogers, Martina McBride and LeeAnn Rimes, among several others. He also has won 10 ASCAP awards, including both Country Song and Pop Song of the Year for his hit “When She Cries” recorded by Restless Heart. His most recent single, “Let Me,” reached the Top 10 for singer Pat Green.

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+.
