ABOUT: THE HIT-MAKERS
Nothing represents Nashville better than a songwriter and a musical vision. Music City Hit-Makers are award-winning songwriters that offer acoustic performances of songs they penned for Nashville’s most notable stars, re-imagined for symphony.
Who is the heart and soul of the Music City Hit-Makers? The songwriters themselves. These talented individuals are considered, “the most famous people you’ve never heard of.” The Hit-Makers are Grammy Award winners and nominees with numerous ASCAP, BMI, CMA, and ACM awards under their belts.

The symphonized songs from the Music City Hit-Makers bring an audience back to the moment they first heard the songwriters’ hits and breathes a new life into those memories. Songs on their wide roster include stand-outs such as Carrie Underwood’s “Jesus Take the Wheel,” Rascal Flatts’ “Bless the Broken Road,” and Miley Cyrus’s “The Climb." The group of writers featured on the Songs & Symphony EP has a combined seventy-five #1 hits from today’s household names, as well as country music legends and future stars. The songs are arranged for symphony by award-winning music director, Charles Judge. The experienced director arranged and conducted Carrie Underwood’s triumphant performances with the Hollywood Bowl and Ravinia Festival Orchestras as well as Blake Shelton’s “Not-So-Family Christmas Special” on NBC.
