Strings & Stories Songwriters’ Night
The 7th annual Strings & Stories: An Intimate Night of Songwriters’ Tales will be held on Saturday, February 27, 2016 at Green’s Grocery in historic Leipers Fork. Enjoy an intimate evening with artists in their element. Singer/songwriters belong on the stage sharing their craft, and that is just where you will find them at Strings & Stories. The songwriter’s night fundraiser will begin at 6:00 pm and will include dinner by Red Pony, wine by Del Rio Wine & Spirits, with dessert and coffee by Frothy Monkey. Guests will enjoy musical performances presented by Notting Hill Music including Nashville’s own award-winning artist Leslie Satcher, Will Robinson, Brad Crisler, and dinner music by guitarist William Kellett.
LESLIE SATCHER: Satcher came to Nashville in 1989 to become a country music artist, and though she still performs for die-hard fans, she has enjoyed sizable success as a songwriter. From “When God-Fearin’ Women Get The Blues,” recorded by Martina McBride, and Grammy-nominated “Politically Uncorrect,” recorded by Merle Haggard and Gretchen Wilson, to “House of Cash” and “Troubadour,” recorded by George Strait, Satcher has written for country greats with songs that alternate between toe-tapping, tears and truth, all set to music. In an industry currently fixated on trucks and the man-boys who drive them, Satcher continues to write and record country music that is more about the life and love you experience as an adult.
WILL ROBINSON: Robinson received a staff writer position at Maypop Music, now part of Sony Music, when he arrived in Nashville. He has also written for Walt Disney Music, EMI Music, and Friday Records Music and has a sizeable catalogue at Bug Music. In the over twenty years Robinson has been writing, he has written or co-written eight number one songs including Alabama’s “There’s No Way”, “What I’d Say”, and “You’ve Got the Touch”, as well as three top five songs and several top 20 hits.
BRAD CRISLER: Crisler is an ASCAP award winner who began his career in Nashville in 1996 and has penned singles including Tim McGraw’s “Some Things Never Change”. He has also written for artists Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts and Brooks and Dunn, among others.
