Radio City Sessions return for Autumn/Winter 2022
TAE Live and The Jackson Line are delighted to announce the return of their highly anticipated Radio City Sessions songwriter rounds.
Having enjoyed a hugely successful debut in autumn 2021, the Radio City Sessions have hosted some of the hottest songwriting talent in the UK country scene. The third season of the sessions will, for the first time, be welcoming some of the most exciting writers from the USA, as well as homegrown, UK based artists. These intimate sessions lift a curtain on behind-the-scenes secrets from some of the most popular hits.
Writers rounds and country music have gone hand in hand for decades, with The Bluebird Café in Nashville their spiritual home. Now, with a limited audience only, people are able to enjoy this ‘listening room’ experience in the birthplace of radio. Often only with a guitar or keyboard and their voice, these stripped back performances leave no place to hide, and often show the deepest emotions of the writers themselves.
“Keith (lead vocals for The Jackson Line) and I got together last year to work out how we could continue to expand the reach of country music in Essex. Having had such a great response to Tennessee Fields, we were sure there was a market for more country events in the county and songwriters sessions are such a fantastic way of engaging an audience and immersing them in the sparkle of country music. The team at Hot Box are equally as committed to supporting all genres of music, and it’s fantastic to be able to bring these evenings back for a third season!” Georgie Thorogood, TAE Live
