Away We Go Again
Early Friday morning Sheryl and I will be leaving for Nashville again.
This coming Sunday (June 4) Sheryl will be performing at the Writers’ Night at the Bluebird Café (for the third time), and we’ll also be playing a couple of other clubs while we’re there.
Sunday Writers Nights at the Bluebird are proceeded by the Sunday Spotlight, which features great bands and up and coming songwriters. They may not have a lot of hits yet, but it’s always a great show.
It just so happens that the spotlight on June 4th will be on Rachel Williams, a friend of ours whom we got to know through our relationship with Kim Copeland and Susan Tucker.
We’ll also be meeting with publishers, some folks at ASCAP, and with Sheryl’s songwriting coach.
This trip will be unique in that Sheryl and I are going alone, and there is no “special event” involved.
I’ve lost track of the number of times we’ve been to Nashville. In the mid 90’s we would go every year for GMAC week (Gospel Music Association) and attend the Dove Awards (Christian music’s equivalent of the Grammies).
We’ve also gone together (or just Sheryl) with members of our NSAI group, and the last time we went was for “Tin Pan South” and the Songwriters’ Symposium put on by NSAI.
This time, we’re going up to play the Bluebird, and keep in contact with folks we’ve come to know along the way.
It’s all about relationships in the music business (which is a good thing) so we’re looking forward to renewing contact with some good people in Nashville.
I will try to post to this Blog while we are there (June 4-9).

Wish we were going with you! One of these days again we'll have to have a "Nashville 6 Tour"!
Have fun! Sheryl, remember to have a few at "Blackstones" for old times sake!
