Underwood joins CMA Songwriter Series

Monday, June 25, 2012 – Carrie Underwood will appear for the first time in the CMA Songwriters Series in Boston on July 31.

Joining Underwood for the songwriters in the round event will be Brett James, Luke Laird, Hillary Lindsay and host Bob DiPiero. In the show, the writers tend to sit on chairs, acoustic guitars in hand, trading stories and songs.

"I'm so excited to be a part of the CMA Songwriter Series with Hillary, Luke, Brett, and Bob! Not only are they some of the most respected songwriters in Nashville, but I'm very lucky to call them my friends. It's going to be a great night, said Underwood.

This marks the second year of a Boston show. Kenny Chesney played the same venue - the Royale - prior to two nights at Gillette Stadium.

"We first brought the CMA Songwriters Series to Boston last year, and it was a huge success," said Steve Moore, CMA Chief Executive Officer. "We are so excited to have Carrie participating in this event. New England's country music fans are in for an unforgettable night."

Those onstage with Underwood also wrote songs she recorded. James wrote Jesus, Take the Wheel and Cowboy Casanova along with The Truth recorded by Jason Aldean and Out Last Night recorded by Chesney.

Therefore, you won't hear about Santa, reindeer or even toys under the tree. The only truly secular track is "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," which is not – by a long ...
CD review - Cry Pretty Carrie Underwood's life was reading straight from the storybooks: one of the few American Idol Winners with ongoing success; a professional athlete for a husband; a beautiful baby boy.
