Award-winning songwriter Melody Walker brings a curated round of LGBTQ+ artists for a night of songs and the stories behind them. Walker is a songwriter, producer, performer and fervent believer that songs can change the world. Best known for her writing with Molly Tuttle, Sierra Ferrell, Della Mae and her own band Front Country, Melody's post-pandemic recalibration has found her rooting down in her home community of East Nashville, co-writing with her talented neighbors and hosting her weekly writers' round, Writers' Kitchen. Her blend of Americana and Pop has won her accolades from Merlefest to Telluride and now the GRAMMYs with co-writes on Molly Tuttle's two GRAMMY-winning albums, including IBMA Song of the Year "Crooked Tree". Recent years have found Walker releasing her first solo music in a decade, stepping into her own as a songwriter and artist and finding magic in queer collaboration.
