Nashville is famous for its Songwriter Rounds.  They happen virtually every night at clubs like The Bluebird and The Listening Room.

Now, Nashville offers something a little different.  On the first Saturday night of every month, Gasoline Studios presents the Saturday Night Music Club.

Saturday Night Music Club is a unique, intimate singer/songwriter event with a twist on the traditional writers "in-the-round" format:  singer/songwriters perform a collection of hit songs, as well as personal and fan favorites with A-list session musicians accompanying the live recording session.

It's rapidly becoming the ticket in Nashville.

Saturday Night Music Club takes place at the West Barn, a timber frame, state-of-the-art barn studio tucked away on a 15-acre farm in the heart of Franklin, Tennessee...with a friendly and familiar vibe--akin to a typical Nashville get-together where friends, family and neighbors share their passion for music.

You never know who will show up--from industry insiders to fans, to some of the artists who have taken these songwriters' songs to the top of the charts.  Recent Saturday Night Music Club songwriters and artists include:  Jimmy Wayne, Wynn Varble, Joe West, Blaine Larson, Loni Rose, Joey & Rory, Tim Johnson, Clay Mills, Jamie Teachenor, James Dean Hicks, James Slater and Lauren Lucas.  All proceeds from each SNMC event are donated to charity.

The next Saturday Night Music Club will take place on Saturday February 4th.  Featured performers will be Marty Dodson, Melissa Fuller and Steven Clawson.  Doors open at 6:30pm, show starts at 7.  BYOB, coffee and deserts provided.  Tickets are $20 per person, and seating is limited so email saturdaynightmusicclub@yahoo.com to reserve.

Proceeds from that night will be donated to World Vision, "Building a better world for children."

The West Barn is located at:  4526 Gosey Lane, Franklin, TN. 37064.

NASHVILLE--January 23, 2012--Canadian singer/songwriter Jessica Ridley swept every talent category to win the Bud United Presents: The Big Time contest and take the opening slot on the massive iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas.

Ridley's road to victory was chronicled Saturday (January 21st) on ABC-TV's premier episode of the new series.  She competed against Nashvillian Justin Nault and Laura Jeanne of St. Albans, England.

The three finalists were picked from thousands who auditioned via Budweiser's online casting call.

Grammy-winning producer and songwriter Narada Michael Walden and Clear Channel Radio's Program Director Julie Pilat served both as mentors and judges.  Clear Channel sponsors the iHeartRadio Music Festival.

Now living in Nashville, the Canadian-born Ridley demonstrated her musical mettle in a two-day marathon that began with each contestant singing his or her country's national anthem a cappella in an empty Las Vegas stadium.  The point was to show how well they could project their voices in a large arena.

Belting out "O Canada," Ridley won this round, as she did the next one, which required contestants to write, within an hour, the words and music for a 30-second commercial for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.  They were given an additional 30 minutes to teach the song to a band of studio musicians and record a demo of their commercial.

In the final test--their third of the day--the contestants had to select, rehearse and sing a cover song before a live audience at the Canyon CLub showroom in downtown Las Vegas.  Pacing the stage like she owned it, Ridley delivered a sizzling version of Toto's "Hold The Line," and took the top prize here, as well.

With Walden and Pilat there to encourage and drive her on, Ridley spent the second day rehearsing for the tone-setting opening slot she would occupy that evening:  the iHeartRadio Music Festival.  The September 23-24 extravaganza spotlighted 17 major performers, including Lady Gaga, Coldplay, Kenny Chesney, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Carrie Underwood, kelly Clarkson and Nicki Minaj.

Prior to making her opening debut, Jessica Ridley was lavished with words of advice and encouragement from some of the festival's headliners, including Jane's Addiction and will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas.  Ridley wowed the crowd of 17,000 at the MGM Grand Hotel with her two-song opener of "Hold The Line" and her own "Flaming Red."

"it was the best feeling on the planet," Ridley exclaimed backstage."Walking out on that stage felt like coming home.  This is the begining of something even bigger than I thought imaginable."
