Billy Currington & Josh Thompson to Perform at CMA Songwriter’s Series in NYC

New York City’s Joe’s Pub will celebrate its grand re-opening with two nights featuring several of Nashville’s finest songwriters. The perennially popular CMA Songwriters Series will return to the completely renovated venue on Thursday and Friday, Oct. 6 and 7.

Billy Currington will be the featured artist/songwriter on Thursday, Oct. 6.

“I’m honored to be invited back to the CMA Songwriters Series, especially on such a big night as the grand re-opening of Joe’s Pub,” said Currington.

Featured on Friday, Oct. 7, will be Josh Thompson.

“Songwriting is what brought me to Nashville…I eat, sleep and breathe it,” said Thompson. “So, to be asked to be a part of this is both extremely humbling and a huge honor for me.”

Performing both nights will be Scotty Emerick (“I Love This Bar,” “Good As I Once Was,” and “I’m Just Talking About Tonight,” all recorded by Toby Keith); David Lee Murphy (“Dust On the Bottle” recorded by Murphy, “Live a Little” recorded by Kenny Chesney, and “Big Green Tractor” recorded by Jason Aldean); and the evening’s host, Bob DiPiero (“Southern Voice” recorded by Tim McGraw, “Blue Clear Sky” recorded by George Strait, and “You Can’t Take the Honky Tonk Out of the Girl” recorded by Brooks & Dunn).

Tickets for the Oct. 6 CMA Songwriters Series at Joe’s Pub are $40 for VIP seating and $30 for reserved and tickets for the Oct. 7 CMA Songwriters Series at Joe’s Pub are $30 for reserved seating. Both shows will go on sale Thursday, Aug. 18 at 2pm ET. For more information on the CMA Songwriters Series, visit www.cmasongwritersseries.com.
