Three of country music’s most celebrated songwriters — Tim Nichols, Lee Thomas Miller, and Wendell Mobley — take the stage for a rare, up-close evening of #1 hits and the stories that inspired them. This is more than a concert — it’s a behind-the-scenes look at the songs that became country classics.
Wendell Mobley is a multi-platinum GRAMMY nominated songwriter with ten #1 songs at the top of the charts for a combined 26 weeks. He wrote number one songs for Kenny Chesney, Jason Aldean, Randy Houser, Rascal Flatts, and more. Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Keith Urban, Dustin Lynch, Alabama, Reba McEntire, Trisha Yearwood, Edwin McCain and many others have recorded some of Mobley’s top hits.
Lee Thomas Miller is an award-winning and four-time GRAMMY nominated songwriter, boasting 19 Top 20 singles with seven reaching number one, including Miller’s songs performed by Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Joe Nichols, Trace Adkins and more. Miller’s writing credits include songs for Brothers Osborne, Chris Stapleton, Darius Rucker, Garth Brooks, Scotty McCreery, George Strait, Dierks Bentley, Jason Aldean, Thomas Rhett, and countless others.
Tim Nichols has nearly two dozen smash hits, multiple BMI songwriting awards, a GRAMMY for Best Country Song, and is a proud Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame inductee. In 2004, Nichols co-wrote Tim McGraw's "Live Like You Were Dying," which stayed at number one for ten consecutive weeks. In addition to breaking that 30-year record, "Live Like You Were Dying" won the GRAMMY award for Best Country Song in 2005 and the Song of the Year award from the Country Music Association, Academy of Country Music, BMI Country Awards, ASCAP Country Awards, Billboard and the Nashville Songwriters Association International. It is the only song to have won every major song award that is presented for country music. Other Nichols’ hits helped launch the careers of Jo Dee Messina, (Heads Carolina, Tails California) and Broken Bow Records recording artist Dustin Lynch, (Cowboys and Angels) and Sony Music artist Chris Young stayed at the top of the charts for three weeks with the Nichol’s composition, “The Man I Want To Be.” He’s also written number one songs for Faith Hill, Cole Swindell, Terri Clark, Keith Whitley, and Trace Adkins. His most recent chart success was the number one hit “I Never Lie” by Zach Top.
