    🚨 APRIL FOOLS… but not really. 🚨
    I got so fired up about Episode #260 of Songwriter Connection that I jumped the gun and moved it up to April 1st… and yeah, we’re having a little fun with it 😄
    Join us as we welcome one of Nashville’s New Faces of Country Music — Kelsey Hart.
    Kelsey built his foundation the real Nashville way — as a songwriter first — landing cuts with artists like Dylan Scott, Trace Adkins, and Jake Owen. Now, he’s stepping into the spotlight as an artist signed to Curb Records, and trust me… he’s making some serious noise.
    From writing hit songs to carving out his own lane as a performer, Kelsey’s story is exactly what Songwriter Connection is all about.

You’ll hear about the inspiration that fuels her writing, the hustle behind the highlights, and of course — she’ll perform live.
