A Little Bit of Nashville
Written By: Jenny King | Issue: 2016/09 - September
When was the last time you got to listen to live music by honest-to-goodness Nashville singers and songwriters?
Now’s your chance! Saturday, September 10, marks the 11th Annual Cashiers Songwriters’ Round, held at Trillium Links & Lake Club.
This delightful evening is the major fundraiser for Blue Ridge School and Blue Ridge Early College and is sponsored by the Blue Ridge School Education Foundation. The foundation works closely with the Jackson County Board of Education and staff of Blue Ridge to provide scholarships, books, resources, and more.
Eleven years ago, Nashville songwriter Rivers Rutherford decided to donate his time and talents to raise money for the foundation. Every year since, he has brought equally famous songwriting friends to the stage where they provide an evening of rip-roaring, no-holds-barred entertainment. Known for his gritty Southern style, Rutherford has become a staple on Universal Music Publishing’s roster since 1996 and continues to write with and for the biggest names in country music. As a respected artist in his own right, he has friends in high places.
Songwriters’ Round will be held at Trillium Links & Lake Club on Saturday, September 10. The ticket price of $100 includes dinner and a full evening of music. Sponsorships are available at the Gold ($1500), Silver ($600), and Bronze ($300) levels. Gold Sponsors will have a reserved stage-side table for 10.
Every year Rutherford has surprised audiences with the number of talented folks he can call friends. According to Blue Ridge School teacher and board member Susan Waller, every concert is different but always full of laughter and dance-worthy music. Dinner, provided by Trillium, begins at 6:00 P.M. and the concert at 7:30 P.M.
Tickets for the 11th annual Cashiers Songwriters’ Round on September 10 may be purchased through the Cashiers Area Chamber of Commerce, (828) 743-5191, or by calling Susan Waller at (828) 526-9186.
