The event, which will begin at 5 p.m., has been previously held at various venues throughout Nashville. Since its inception in 2015, the AIMP Nashville Songwriter Series has established itself as an indicator of what’s to come from the thriving independent music publishing community.
“Each year, the talented group of writers unveils the budding talent that the independent publishing community prides itself on nourishing and developing here in Nashville,” says AIMP officer, Michael McAnally Baum. “The evening is a great way to have everyone come together and get even more fired up about the songs our writers are creating every day.”
Previous classes have boasted writers who have gone on to earn cuts by Dierks Bentley, Florida Georgia Line, Miranda Lambert, Keith Urban, Kacey Musgraves, Little Big Town, and many more.
