Songtown USA is an online community of songwriters headed up by hit songwriters, Marty Dodson and Clay Mills. They already have a huge presence on Facebook (over 11,000 likes) and October 23 is the official launch date of their website. If you join up by then, you will become a charter member.
I’m a new member, and I recommend that you join up, too (quickly)! Check it out at www.songtown.com.
All the best,

It was fun to be at the Smoky Mtn. Songwriters Festival in Gatlinburg! A big thanks to all who attended my workshop, "Arranging the Hit". I was honored to be invited to sit in on a hit songwriters round with Kim Williams (Ain't Goin' Down til the Sun Goes Up - Garth Brooks), Doug Johnson (Three Wooden Crosses - Randy Travis, co-written with Kim Williams), Jim McBride (Chattahoochee - Alan Jackson) and Wil Nance (She's Everything - Brad Paisley). Three Wooden Crosses is my favorite record that I've ever played on, and it was cool to sit in with the guys who wrote it (playing the guitar that I used for the record). Here we are singing Rocky Top (across the street from where it was written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant). Much fun was had!

"Beaird Music Group changed my life!"
The quote above was in an email we recently received from Jonny Price from New York City.
We're super excited to announce that our Evening With a Publisher has resulted in a staff writing deal for Jonny!!
Here's the story:
Scene 1:
A while back, I (Larry) was asked to do a live on-air interview via phone with an internet radio station in New York City. I basically talked half an hour about songwriting, our studio and how we do things here.
Scene 2:
At that particular moment in time, New York songwriter, Jonny Price, was driving through the city and hit scan on his radio. He tuned in when he heard me talking about songwriting and recording.
Scene 3:
After listening to my interview, he decided that recording at Beaird Music Group was just what he needed to do. He came to Nashville and recorded 3 songs with us. He loved the recordings so much that a few weeks later he recorded 5 more songs.
Scene 4:
He pitched 3 songs at one of our Evening With a Publisher events. He didn't even come to Nashville for this - he attended Evening With a Publisher via Skype.
Scene 5:
Daniel Lee with BMG/Chrysalis liked his music so much that he signed Jonny to a staff writing deal!
How cool is that?!
We offer up a big congratulations to Jonny Price and look forward to hearing his songs on the radio!
Best wishes to all!
