This unscripted, unplugged, and unbelievable 90-minute show will bring
the best in performing songwriter experiences to the stage, where the
award-winning/Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter, Billy Yates,
will introduce the audience to the world of performing songwriters, as
two other hit songwriter/artists from Nashville will join Billy on stage
each week to casually tell the stories behind the songs they play.
 This relaxed and unscripted show allows the audience to enjoy the
spirit of what makes acoustic performances of songs, by the ones who
wrote them, so great.  

Audiences will feel the raw emotions
and should be prepared to laugh, and possibly cry, as they share their
hearts and souls in this “like no other” experience in Branson,
Missouri.  Songwriters and artist/writers will rotate weekly throughout
the season, each performing three shows in a row during their stay in
Branson.  The intimacy of this all-acoustic show will leave audiences
feeling as though they’ve made new friends with the stars on stage.

Most Branson show goers got to know Billy Yates during the past two seasons as he starred in the hit country music production, Raiding the Country Vault.
“When I got to Branson last year, I realized that with so much variety
in the shows and attractions, there was still something missing.  Having
spent the last 30 years in Nashville, the thing I missed most was the
amazing songwriter shows that have become a true Nashville experience in
the Music City where hit songwriters share with the audience their
original versions of songs they’ve written, along with the stories that
inspired them,” said Yates. “I believe that a show like this in Branson,
featuring the best writers in the business, is something the folks here
are sure to love”.

Each
show will include a meet and greet, and the audience will have a chance
to personally “thank a songwriter” . . .  the unseen heroes behind the
music of our lives. 

In
addition to his own ‘Hit Songwriters in the Round’ show, Yates will
continue singing some of his favorite Country classics at the Starlite
Theatre in Raiding the Country Vault in 2018, so make plans to attend
both shows as you schedule your Branson vacation.
