To check out some reviews, click here.
For 2015, Larry has charted and researched every #1 song of 2014 and 2015 (from Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart). In his workshop, Larry utilizes this research to talk with writers about how they can write more commercial songs.

The Nashville workshop will be expanded to 6 hours (from its regular 3-hr format), and each writer will be able to submit one song to be included in the presentation. Along with discussing the #1 songs, Larry will play each writer's song for the group, make a number chart of it, and offer arrangement ideas.
Arranging the Hit in Nashville will take place at Beaird Music Group on Saturday, July 18, 2015 (10:00am - 5:00pm with a 1-hour lunch break).
Beaird Music Group will be giving away a free Premier Demo to one lucky attendee! (a $625 value) All writers in attendance will be offered a 10% discount on a Premier Demo (good for 30 days).
