As you know, Songwriters Series is all about country music songwriters, their story, and their songs. The songwriters, with guitar in-hand, take turns telling the stories behind their hit songs and performing them in the raw, as originally written. 

Locally, this show has run annually for 10 years. This year, this FINAL and SPECIAL show is being generously brought to the Valley by Hometown Pharmacy and YSU Cliffe College of Creative Arts to benefit Sojourner House. This performance is considered a unique regional event within the Cleveland to Pittsburgh market and as a special guest, Vince Gill will join Bob on stage.
