About Southern Rounds TV

Southern Rounds is Nashville's premiere songwriter round featuring country music's biggest hits performed by the songwriters. Southern Rounds was founded in 2019 with a vision of supporting songwriters, the lifeblood of the music business. Changes in the music business led to a streaming and a singles-based musical landscape, making it more difficult to make a living as a songwriter. Southern Rounds' mission is to give a voice to songwriters where they can showcase their songs and earn a living performing. Beginning with Covid-era online performances, Southern Rounds moved in 2022 to live, in-person monthly shows at Nashville's Analog @ The Hutton Hotel, widely regarded as the best listening room in Nashville, and continues to livestream worldwide. Co-founded by award-winning hit songwriter Wyatt Durrette and Richard Blackstone of Blackstone Entertainment, each show features the songwriters and stories behind some of country music's biggest acts including Zac Brown Band, Luke Combs, Jason Aldean, Little Big Town, Miranda Lambert, Rascal Flatts, George Strait, Blake Shelton and more, while also showcasing rising stars such as Lainey Wilson and Ella Langley. Southern Rounds continues to expand its mission to include featured artist showcases and bringing the world's best songwriters to US and International venues. www.southernroundslive.com.
