The Better Business Bureau Serving Middle Tennessee & Southern Kentucky will hold its Fifth Annual Songwriters Night on Friday, Sept. 29, at 5:30 p.m. at the Factory at Franklin. The evening’s talent will consist of country singer-songwriters Wyatt McCubbin, Erik Dylan and Brice Long.

“The Williamson County BBB Advisory Board began this event as a fundraiser for the BBB Integrity Foundation in 2017 in order to spotlight the importance of integrity in the music industry and to support the educational outreach of the foundation,” said Lorneth Peters, director of marketing and communications for the BBB. “Nashville is the home of country music, and this event was created to highlight the songwriters and let them tell the stories behind the hits we hear on the radio.”

Between them, the trio works with hundreds of country stars who have been admired for years.

McCubbin, who is heavily inspired by both country and blues music, has opened for artists such as George Jones and Charlie Daniels. Tracy Lawrence, among many others, has recorded his songs.

Dylan is often seen working with Luke Combs. However, he has also written songs for Brantley Gilbert, Trisha Yearwood and Dustin Lynch.

Over 100 of Long’s songs have been cut by the likes of Garth Brooks, George Strait, Hank Williams Jr., Trace Adkins and other artists. In 2015, he received a CMA nomination for Song of the Year for Randy Houser’s “Like a Cowboy.”

“We are looking forward to a great night of showcasing amazing local songwriters, plenty of fun and networking,” said Robyn Householder, president and CEO of Better Business Bureau serving Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky. “More importantly, we are excited to share that all proceeds will benefit local businesses in the areas we serve.”

The money raised supports community programs and provides grant funding to small businesses in the 45 counties under the BBB of Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky.

The Factory at Franklin is located at 230 Franklin Rd., Franklin.
