Country Music’s top songwriters live from Analog at The Hutton Hotel!

Some of Country music’s best join our Southern Rounds stage at ANALOG in NASHVILLE on JUNE 11th: D. VINCENT WILLIAMS, JAY KNOWLES, and WESLEY DEAN. Hear these incredible songwriters who have written hits for LUKE BRYAN, LAINEY WILSON, RASCAL FLATTS, and more!

D. VINCENT WILLIAMS

The unsung heroes of the Nashville music scene, songwriters seldom command the spotlight that performing artists do, but hit-maker D. Vincent Williams is a worthy exception to the rule. With undeniable talent as a gifted and chart-topping songwriter, backed by years of performing experience, this hit-maker is ready to take center stage in every way. “I was singing before I could really talk, music just came naturally to me,” remembers Williams. “Songwriting is no different. I hear the melody in my head and then take notes of the pictures that come to mind. The ability to sing, play and write has given me an unlimited freedom of expression.”

Over the course of his remarkable songwriting career, Williams has landed cuts on albums that have sold more than 15 million copies, including “I’m Movin’ On” by Rascal Flatts, Ty Herndon’s “Hands Of A Working Man” and James Otto’s “Just Got Started Lovin’ You.” He has had songs recorded by esteemed artists including Kenny Rogers, Randy Travis, Reba McEntire, Ronnie Milsap, Jason Aldean, and Lee Ann Womack. “I didn’t choose songwriting, it chose me,” says Williams.

WESLEY DEAN

Wesley Dean, formerly known as Wes Carr, is staking his claim as one of the most compelling voices in modern Country and Americana. ”[Dean]… seeks to connect with listeners in the kind of universal folk artist way that once propelled artists like Dylan and Springsteen,” raves Glide Magazine. Over the past four years, he’s electrified audiences across the U.S., playing everything from the storied stages of Rockwood Music Hall and The Basement to the raucous energy of Whiskey Jam, SXSW, and AmericanaFest. From the House of Blues and the high-octane atmosphere of CMA Fest to a standout performance at the prestigious Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville, Dean’s live shows have captivated diverse crowds, showcasing his unique blend of authenticity and raw talent.

Never one to be confined by genre, Dean most recently collaborated with the Nashville Ballet for his Crazy Hearts music video, a groundbreaking fusion of dance and country music, demonstrating his ability to push artistic boundaries in a truly unique way.

A number-one platinum-selling artist, Golden Guitar winner, and Australian Idol winner, Dean’s collaborations with the elite of the Australian music scene have earned him a reputation

as a genre-defying talent. His extensive tours across America have only amplified his presence, solidifying his standing as a rising force in both the Americana and country scenes.

Now, with Crazy Hearts: The Documentary on the horizon for a 2025 release, Dean is deep in the process of capturing his 5,000-mile journey across the U.S. in an RV with his young family. Through intimate live performances and behind-the-scenes footage, the documentary will offer fans an unprecedented look into his life on the road, showcasing not just his music but the journey that shapes it.
