Hi Guys,

If you are at all interested in seeing a great songwriter from Nashville, then check this out:

SONGWRITING WORKSHOPS WITH ASCAP’s NASHVILLE SONGWRITER OF THE YEAR.
Rivers Rutherford, ASCAP Nashville’s Songwriter of the Year (2006) is playing a short tour in the UK in April and will be hosting two songwriter workshops during the week. Rivers wrote the 2002 ASCAP Song of the Year (Brooks & Dunn’s multi-week #1 hit “Ain’t Nothing ‘Bout You”) one of a string of hits recorded by multi-genre artists such as Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley/Dolly Parton, Gretchen Wilson, Montgomery Gentry, Kenny Chesney, Carrie Underwood, Trace Adkins, and more. Known as a ‘triple threat’ for his writing, playing and singing, he has a 4th skill as a major label producer as well. As I'm new to posting here it will not let me put Rivers's email address here, but just google Rivers Rutherford.

Rivers will host Q&A style songwriters’ workshop on Thursday April 12th at The Southern, Manchester and at The Regal Room, Hammersmith, London on Saturday April 14th. Participants will also have the chance to play on one of the Writers’ Rounds which will open each show and each workshop fee includes a ticket for the gig that night.

Rivers will also play The Boardwalk, Sheffield on Tuesday April 10th.
For further details and to register for the workshops please contact : Lorna Flowers. Email : catosongs@hotmail.com

He really is worth seeing even if you don't like country. It will be an acoustic set which is always a treat.

Tickets are available for the Boardwalk web site. You can also get tickets from the following locations:

Jacks Records,Division St, Sheffield
Forever Changes, Ecclesall Rd, Sheffield
or from the venue on gig nights

Thanks, Graham
