Many torches together make a brighter flame

About Me

The Writer Posse is Nashville's newest songwriter group whose main purpose is to bring together the growing family of talent we all are part of. We support and inspire each other, believing that as a group we are stronger than individually. We love this music town and are driven to grow and challenge ourselves to writing greater songs and doing a greater good somehow. We are a non-exclusive circle of friends, cowriters and musicians who get together for a big show and have a large time....We welcome all songwriters and music lovers as friends in 'Space! msprm name="movie"
