Songwriter Connection

This week on Songwriter Connection, we’re joined by one of Nashville’s rising stars — Mark Taylor — a songwriter and performer you definitely want on your radar.
Mark has shared the stage with some of country music’s greats, earned awards for his songwriting, and built a reputation in Music City as both a powerful writer and a captivating live performer. Now, he’s adding “entrepreneur” to the mix with his own whiskey brand — because why not pair great songs with great spirits?
Join us as we pull up chairs around the dining room table for an honest conversation about the craft of songwriting, the stories behind the songs, and the journey of building a career in Nashville. You’ll also hear Mark perform some of his incredible songs live in the room — the way they’re meant to be heard.
It’s real stories, real music, and a real talent you won’t want to miss.
