NASHVILLE, Tenn. (January 2009) – Hit songwriter Rand Bishop will headline Tunesmithing on Music Row from 7-9 p.m. Feb. 5 (Thursday) at the Edgehill Studios Cafe, 1201 Villa Place on Music Row. The event also will feature performances by Dar Frantz, Deirdre Jenkins, and Barbara Morrison-McGuire, with special guests David Langley and Max McGuire.

Rand Bishop is a Grammy-nominated, BMI Award-winning tunesmith who has written songs for such acts as Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, and The Beach Boys. The hit-maker recently released the new book, Makin' Stuff Up (secrets of songcraft and survival in the music-biz), and launched the new songcraft-coaching web site, www.MakinStuffUp.net. His book, which is described as "a songwriting course wrapped in a memoir", includes a number of life- and career-changing stories from an often misguided rock 'n' roll past, as well as invaluable insights on songcraft. Bishop's song, My List (Toby Keith), spent five weeks at number one on the Billboard country singles chart in 2002 and, according to Radio & Records Magazine, was the number one most played song on country radio for that year. Other artists who have recorded Bishop’s songs include Lorrie Morgan, Tracy Byrd, Heart, Cheap Trick, and the Indigo Girls.
