24 at the Paley Center for Media, Southern Rounds: Bringing Nashville to New York will host songwriting workshops and acoustic performances with some famed Music City hitmakers, in partnership with Southern Rounds — essentially replicating the songwriter gatherings that happen nightly in Bringing Nashville and have birthed countless country hits.

The Paley Center has a long history of music programming, hosting conversations, performances and using its Paley Archive to preserve some of music’s most important cultural moments. Tickets are available on the Paley Center website, with a presale for certain member tiers live now and a public on-sale starting Sept.

Vincent Williams, winner of the 2002 ACM Song of the Year for Rascal Flatt’s “I’m Movin’ On.” Guests can watch the writers swap songs, discuss backstories and give a glimpse into the intimate, often collaborative process of country songwriting.

The program is part of a larger focus for the center this year on music initiatives, which will also include live events, showcases, album release events, listening parties, and more. Additional events in the Southern Rounds: Bringing Nashville to New York series take place on Oct.

24 kickoff are James Otto , who is currently touring with the Mavericks after the death of Raul Malo and has co-written hits like Jamey Johnson’s “In Color” and “Somethin’ ‘Bout a Boat” for Jimmy Buffett, songwriter (and Shark Tank entrepreneur) Kevin MaC, and D.

Most recently, it hosted an exhibition that spotlighted the Latin Grammy Awards, timed to its 25th anniversary and featuring Celia Cruz, Gloria and Emilio Estefan, Carlos Santana, and Shakira.
