Gary Burr & Georgia Middleman - An Evening of Song & Story from the Nashville Writers behind the Hits
Starting with Gary Burr’s first pop hit, “Loves Been A Little Bit Hard On Me” by Juice Newton to his induction into the Country Music Songwriters Hall Of Fame, Songwriter Of The Year Awards by Billboard, ASCAP and the Nashville Songwriters Association, the man has legitimately become one of the most successful and honored songwriters in history.
His career has spanned Rock, Pop and even Latin hits such as Ricky Martin and Christina Aguileras’ smash duet “Nobody Wants To Be Lonely”. And if you name the Country Artist, it’s highly likely that Gary wrote his/her biggest hit. From Tim McGraw, Garth Brooks, and The Oak Ridge Boys to LeAnn Rimes, Reba McEntire, Faith Hill and on and on, the score card reads 32 top forty hits, 24 top tens and 14 number ones. But can he sing and play? Well, a while back he replaced Vince Gill as the lead singer/guitarist for Pure Prairie League (not bad, huh?) and he’s part of Kenny Loggin’s new band Blue Sky Riders as well as being a singer, multi instrumentalist in Ringo Starr’s band.
As for Georgia Middleman: She’s also one of Nashville's most accomplished singer/songwriters. She’s written hits for Faith Hill, Kenny Chesney, Martina McBride, Reba McEntire, Terri Clark, Joe Nichols, Maia Sharp, Sheila E., and many others. In 2010, Keith Urban took "I'm In," which she co-wrote with Radney Foster, to the top of the country charts in 2010. Those who have seen her live, though, can attest that there is real magic in her own renditions of her songs as, she wraps one of music's most expressive voices around lovingly crafted glimpses into life and love at their most compelling.
