Nashville Rising Song Series 4 Starts January 9, 2019 At Nashville Underground

Nashville Rising Song is excited to announce Series 4 of their popular songwriter open mic contest, NASHVILLE RISING SONG. Series 4 of NASHVILLE RISING SONG will be held at Nashville Underground at 105 Broadway, near the intersection of First and Broadway in downtown Nashville.

Open to all songwriters of any genre who write and perform their own songs, NASHVILLE RISING SONG is Music City’s premier songwriter open mic contest. Created and facilitated by Keith Mohr (mohrmusicproductions.com), NASHVILLE RISING SONG has a reputation as a top discovery vehicle for aspiring songwriters, music industry personnel and music fans.

The contest starts Wednesday, January 9 at 7:00PM, and will be held subsequent Wednesdays for a total of 12 weeks. Each of the ten preliminary rounds feature up to 21 songwriters who each perform one original song. At each preliminary round, the audience (at the venue and online) votes for their favorite songwriter/song, and a panel of music industry judges also select their favorite songwriter/song.

The semi-final round will be held on Wednesday, March 20, 2019 at 7:00PM, featuring 20 preliminary round winners. The audience (at the venue and online) selects one writer, and the music industry panel selects three additional writers to move on to the final round. At the final round, to be held on Wednesday March 27, 2019 at 7:00PM, the four finalists will perform four songs each. The grand prize winner, who will be selected by a combination of audience (at the venue and online) and music industry votes, will receive cash and other career advancing prizes provided by event prize partners.

The event is FREE to perform (unless a songwriter opts to purchase a limited guaranteed performance slot) and FREE to vote online, courtesy of event host, Nashville Underground and other event partners.

Also, new for this series is the addition of Shawn Carnes, CEO of Nashville Underground Management (http://www.nu.management) as event emcee. Shawn brings his vast experience in the music industry as well as his upbeat and dynamic personality to the Nashville Rising Song event and stage.

NASHVILLE RISING SONG creator/director Keith Mohr states, “We’re thrilled to have Nashville Underground host our fourth series of Nashville Rising Song. Joey and Gavin DeGraw are successful songwriters themselves and have built a fantastic music themed venue with an excellent stage and production.” And, having Shawn Carnes as our new emcee will spice up the event and make it quite the entertaining show! NASHVILLE RISING SONG is a great way to discover up and coming talent way before anyone else! This event is all about the song!”
