Each year, this show will present the work of selected songwriters, highlighting both those who are well-established, as well as those who are on the rise.

The songwriters selected for the inaugural show of this new annual series are Jeff Blumenkrantz, Barry Kleinbort, Johnny Rodgers, Mary Liz McNamara, Nate Buccieri and Scott Evan Davis. The host for the evening will be Grammy award winning songwriter Julie Gold. Nate Buccieri will be the musical director.
