For us, Friday night was bound to be a special one. It was the night of the inaugural Underground Writers Round; our first-ever event in Nashville, and a showcase for six of the city’s most prolific up-and-coming songwriters.
In our estimation, it was all that and then some.

We stopped by Douglas Corner Cafe on Friday night, just to hang out, meet some folks, and hear some music. Now, we’re even more excited for this Friday’s Underground Writers Round than we were before.
Everyone was super nice and helpful, and the room sounds great. Surely, then, the six songwriters we have lined up for our first-ever Nashville event will sound spectacular.
Speaking of which, we are now ready to let you know when each of our Underground Writers Round songwriters will be performing on Friday night. So, if you have a favorite, or there’s someone you’ve been meaning to check out, take a look at the poster after the jump.
