Additional performers include Billy Montana (Garth Brooks), Jesse Lee (Keith Urban), Justin Wilson (Morgan Wallen) and dozens more, inviting fans along on an unforgettable musical journey through “three chords and the truth.”
As the masterminds of the world’s most beloved songs, each writer will mix an entertaining live performance with captivating storytelling, revealing the inspiration behind the work – and even hosting select Q&A sessions.
