The Songwriters Showcase serves as a preview to the Frank Brown International Songwriters Festival. The night will feature Wyatt Durrette, Dave Kennedy, and Rob Snyder.
- Wyatt Durette's rise in the music industry began when he met Zac Brown while bartending in Atlanta, GA. Their collaboration yielded 12 #1 hits and two CMA Triple Play Awards. Durette's talent soon caught the attention of country superstar Luke Combs. Co-written by Durette, Combs' song "Beautiful Crazy" went 4X Platinum, held #1 for seven weeks, and was one of 2019's biggest hits. It earned SESAC's 2019 Song of the Year and the CMA's 2019 Song of the Year. Durette also co-wrote Combs' next #1 single, "Even Though I'm Leaving," which topped the Billboard Country Airplay chart.
- Dave Kennedy's songs are cinematic portraits of America, with characters navigating love, heartbreak, humor, sin, redemption, and revenge. His dynamic presence, balancing strength and subtlety, captures life's peaks and valleys, highways and backroads, lost loves and lingering memories. As one of Nashville's most respected songwriters and artists, Kennedy's collaborations are in high demand. Artists like Travis Tritt, Riley Green, Whiskey Myers, Drake White, and Larry Fleet eagerly write and perform with him.
- Rob Snyder's passion for music began early, nurtured by his musical family. In 2013, he launched Revival at Tin Roof in Nashville, a showcase for the city's top songwriters. Snyder established himself with Luke Combs' 4-week #1 hit "She Got The Best of Me" and co-wrote "Dear Today" for Combs' latest album. His songs are also recorded by the Davisson Brothers Band, Will Hoge, and rising star Ashland Craft. Please welcome Rob Snyder to the stage.
