Rivers Rutherford
Join the Blue Ridge School Education Foundation as they present the 18th annual Nashville Songwriters’ Round featuring Rivers Rutherford and friends on Saturday, August 24, at the Keller Pavilion at the Boys and Girls Club of the Plateau at 558 Frank Allen Road in Cashiers. Doors open at 6:00 for dinner and social hour followed by the songwriters’ performances at 7:30 P.M.
It’s hard to believe it’s been almost two decades since the first songwriters’ round but this eagerly anticipated event has gathered steam every year and is now one of the year’s hottest tickets. It offers music lovers the perfect opportunity to get a glimpse into the creative process of some of Nashville’s most acclaimed songwriters and to enjoy intimate live performances of some of country music’s biggest hits.
This absolutely entertaining band of friends will bring you into their circle for an unforgettable evening of fun, laughter, conversation, and music.
Highlighting the evening is Rivers Rutherford, who has been the heart and soul of this fundraiser since its inception. Rivers was inaugurated into the big time at 21 years of age when The Highwaymen (Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson) recorded one of his songs. Number One hits and countless awards have followed, including Grammys, CMA and ACM nominations, and over 20 ASCAP awards. His songs have been performed by country music legends Dolly Parton, Tim McGraw, Keith Urban, Lady A, and a host of others.
You’ll be having so much fun that you might lose sight of the fact that this is a serious fundraiser for a cause close to all our hearts-supporting educational opportunities for Blue Ridge School and Early College students.
Funds raised supplement the needs of students and educators in a myriad of ways by providing money for professional development, print and audio resources, classroom materials, gift cards for teachers, a music artist-in-residence, a school nurse, and a social worker. Additionally, they support the “Give 5, Read 5” summer reading program, an after-school math tutoring program, the Muddy Sneakers Outdoor Learning Program, and much more.
