Music City Hit-Makers
Grammy award-winning songwriters Hillary Lindsey, Brett James and Gordie Sampson join Orchestra Kentucky in a concert that pairs Nashville's most revered songwriters with the artistry of the symphony orchestra-the curtain gets pulled back on Music City to reveal the stories behind the songs written for today's biggest stars. Part of the Orchestra Kentucky RETRO series, the Music City Hit-Makers show won't disappoint.
Featured are twenty Billboard Country #1 singles that they have collectively written, recorded by artists such as Carrie Underwood, Kenny Chesney, Lady Antebellum, Martina McBride and Rodney Atkins. Two of their songs, Telescope and Change Your Mind, have been performed this season on ABC's hit show, Nashville. For ticket information and more details, please call 270-846-2426 or visit the website below.
