Two weeks ago, we announced that we are partnering with the historic Douglas Corner Cafe to bring Nashville the first-ever Underground Writers Round on Friday, September 27 beginning at 9 p.m.
Today, we’ll announce the lineup, consisting of six of Nashville’s most notable up-and-coming songwriters.
