Steve Moore, CMA Chief Executive
Officer. “It’s great to see how this series has grown since it began in 2005.
What started at Joe’s Pub in New York has expanded to other cities over the
years. We have even taken the series overseas with shows in the U.K., Ireland, and Paris.”

Country
singer and celebrated songwriter Vassar will headline a night of Country Music
favorites and the stories behind the hit songs. As a singer/songwriter, Vassar

of eight albums, two ASCAP Songwriter of the Year trophies,
Billboard Country Songwriter
of the Year, countless hits as a singer and songwriter, and a mantle full of awards. 

“Songs
should evoke something, whether it makes you happy and puts you in a good mood,
or makes you cry and feel desperation…you know, whether you’re going through
a marriage, or a divorce, or you’re in love, or you hate somebody, or whatever
it is… songs should evoke something,” said Vassar.”
