Country music star Darryl Worley is set to host his second songwriter event this year, "Hitmakers & Harleys," to benefit his Darryl Worley Foundation. Joining Darryl at the Bumpus Harley-Davidson dealership in Murfreesboro on Monday, July 13 will be hit songwriters Walt Aldridge, Jim "Moose" Brown and Steve Leslie.
"This is a fun event, because it give folks who don't normally see songwriters perform their hits the chance to hear stories behind the songs and hear them performed as they were originally written," said Darryl. "If it's anything like the others we've done, there'll be as much laughing going on as music!"
A partial list of Top 10 hits written or co-written by Walt Aldridge includes Heartland's "I Loved Her First," Ronnie Milsap's "No Getting' Over Me" and Ricky Van Shelton's smash "Crime of Passion." He has produced, engineered or been a musician for everyone from Peter Cetera and Dobie Gray to Martina McBride and Jo Dee Messina.
Jim "Moose" Brown is best known for his Grammy Award-winning song "It's Five O'clock Somewhere," which was recorded by Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett. He also co-produced Darryl's upcoming album Sounds Like Life, which hits stores June 9, 2009.
Steve Leslie is proud to have his name attached to no less than 20 Darryl Worley songs including "Second Wind," "Back Where I Belong," "Tennessee River Run" and more. He has also had songs cut by the likes of Kenny Rogers, George Strait, Neal McCoy, Rhonda Vincent and Mark Chesnutt.
Tickets for the event are very limited. Tables in the Golden Circle Seating area are $1,500 and include dinner, drinks and a meet and greet with the songwriters. Corporate Tables include dinner and drinks are $900, and individual seating for dinner only is $75 per person. Reservations must be made by calling 615-849-8025 or www.darrylworley.com.
Doors for the event, which is located at 2250 Broad Street in Murfreesboro, open at 6:30 p.m., and the show begins at 7 p.m. A live auction will include such items as a Les Paul Guitar signed by all of the songwriters, a football autographed by Tennessee Titans quarterback Kerry Collins and limited-edition Harley-Davidson items.
This is the fourth such songwriter event Darryl has hosted for his Darryl Worley Foundation. Last month's "Hitmakers on the Harbor" on Pickwick Lake raised over $12,000. The next event is scheduled at Bumpus Harley-Davidson's Jackson location on July 21. The final event will take place during Darryl's Tennessee River Run on Thursday, Sept. 10. Details on all events can be found at www.darrylworley.com.
Darryl is currently touring in support of his new hit single, "Sounds Like Life To Me." His new Stroudavarious Records album, Sounds Like Life, is in stores now. Stroudavarious and Country Crossing are a division of Ronnie Gilley Entertainment.
