Songwriter's Depot July Show Announcement

Updated July 23rd, 2010:   It was a warm night outside but we enjoyed a cool show inside with the July 2010 Songwriter's Depot show at the Old Country Store.   We started the show off with a bang with little nine year old Presley Connor's comedy routine.  It was a real hit and she's a doll.  Presley is the daughter of show producer Shane Connor. 

Our three fantastic songwriters, Blaine Larsen, Jamie Teachenor and Joe White, put on a great show with their incredible talents as songwriters, singers and musicians.  It was amazing.  Songwriter Joe West was accompanied by his son, Zach, on his hit song "American Ride".

We love live music at the Old Country Store and so appreciate our partnership with WYN 106.9 on Songwriter's Depot.  We really enjoy these songwriter nights and have met the best of the best from Nashville.  Mark your calendar for the next show on the 4th Thursday on August 26th.
