Association of Independent Publishers (AIMP) Hosts Third Annual Nashville Songwriters Series

The celebratory evening will feature writers’ rounds with six up-and-coming songwriters,
on Monday, Sept. 25 at The Country.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Nashville Chapter of the AIMP (Association of Independent Music Publishers) will host the third annual Songwriters Series on Monday, Sept. 25th at The Country from 4 p.m. – 6 p.m. CT. The series will once again feature six new-and-noteworthy independent songwriters in writers’ rounds.

The Songwriter Series, created by a committee of industry professionals and headed by SMACKSongs’ Michael Baum and Wrensong’s Ree Guyer, is an event that was launched in 2015 to showcase some of Nashville’s best standout songwriters and bring the Nashville independent publishing community together for a night of celebration. The Class of 2017 was chosen from more than 50 submissions and voted on by a committee of industry professionals. The six songwriters chosen for this year’s class are Hannah Ellis, Ross Ellis, Michael Hardy, Ashley McBryde, Daniel Ross and Sarah Turner, who each represent different independent Nashville-based publishers.

Writers of the last two years’ classes have continued to receive notable cuts and acclaim within the industry –  including current charting singles, ACM nominations, and number one songs.

Previous songwriter classes are:
Class of 2016: Brinley Addington, Ash Bowers, Dustin Christensen, Erik Dylan, Jeffrey East and Josh Jenkins
Class of 2015: Maggie Chapman, Luke Dick, Jameson Rodgers, Matt Rogers, Hailey Whitters and J.P. Williams

“Independent publishers are the lifeblood of my creative community and industry, and I can’t think of a better fit for me than my indie publisher, Little Louder,” says Class of 2015 and “Kill A Word” (Eric Church) writer Luke Dick.  “I can say without batting an eye that because of my publisher and the independent ethos, I’ve been more creatively fostered than I ever have, and this has opened my life up to opportunities that perpetually ignite my own passion for music.  Here’s to all the independent publishers and AIMP, true pioneers of artists, songs, and culture.”

The celebratory evening will take place at The Country (110 28th Avenue N) on Monday, Sept. 25 from 4 p.m. – 6 p.m. Light hor d’oeuvres and drinks will be served.
