The CMA Songwriters Series showcases the best of Nashville's mega-hit songwriters! Joe's Pub, one of the best small venues in New York City, has been home to the CMA Songwriters Series since 2005. Each night of the series features four successful songwriters from Nashville, who line up on stage and, with guitar in-hand, take turns telling the stories behind their hit songs and performing them in the raw as originally written. Hear hit songs made famous by Country artists Brooks & Dunn, Kenny Chesney, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban and many more!
