Nashville, TN -- Katie Armiger, Brent Cobb, Chris Janson and Corey Smith, four rising singer-songwriters who have been selected to participate in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s emerging artist membership program, will take the Ford Theater stage on Tuesday, December 10, at 7:30 p.m. for an acoustic guitar pull. All proceeds from the concert will benefit the museum.
Texan Katie Armiger’s fourth studio album, the critically-acclaimed Fall Into Me, was released in January; Armiger wrote or co-wrote all 14 songs on the record, which GAC lauded as “a unique blend of modern and traditional.” Georgia native Brent Cobb’s songs have been recorded by Luke Bryan, Little Big Town, Kellie Pickler, the Eli Young Band and more, and he recently recorded his debut CD for Carnival Music. Missouri-born Chris Janson has enjoyed chart success this year with his songs “Better I Don’t” and current single “Cut Me Some Slack”; he’s also played more than 150 dates in 2013, including opening for Florida Georgia Line, Merle Haggard and Jake Owen, and performing 20 times on the Grand Ole Opry. An acclaimed independent artist, Corey Smith has performed more than 1,000 shows for a cumulative audience of more than one million fans; he is currently working with award-winning producer Keith Stegall on his ninth album.

Says Smith, “Whenever I visit the Country Music Hall of Fame..., I leave there feeling really inspired.”
