Craig Carothers & Don Henry

Veteran Nashville songwriters together on stage swapping songs and stories, jabs and laughs.

CRAIG CAROTHERS
Craig Carothers is a singer/songwriter from Portland, Oregon, now making his home in Nashville, Tennessee. He's recorded and released ten albums in the last twenty years, and his songs have been recorded by Trisha Yearwood, Kathy Mattea and Peter, Paul, and Mary just to name just a few. Performing Songwriter Magazine calls Craig's memorable songs "the right mix of weary-eyed cynicism and helpless hearted romanticism."

Half of the year he's on tour, and the other half he spends in Nashville writing and producing. Craig also teaches a lyric writing class at the University of Miami, and has held songwriting workshops all over the U.S. and in Europe.

DON HENRY
Grammy-award winner Don Henry's songs have been recorded by legends like Ray Charles and Patti Page, country crooners like Gene Watson and B.J. Thomas and young hit-makers like Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert... and many more.

The wit and wisdom of Don's songs are widely renowned whether it's campfire favorites, "B.F.D." and biker lullaby "Harley", to his poignant tribute to Martin Luther King "Beautiful Fool", and of course, his Grammy Award winning country classic "Where've You Been."

"Henry comes across as a first cousin to Randy Newman, writing hot-wired songs about born-again whores, interfaith marriages, and the homeless taking over the White House. This is funny and thought provoking stuff, all of it good."
