The perfect "Date Night" for discerning music lovers! This popular and elegant Dinner Concert centers around Hosts, Jack & Diane, and their distinguished ROSTER of fellow, pro-level songwriters, in unprecedented fashion.

Listeners revere concert productions like Austin City Limits and VH-1 Storytellers. Along that idea, Nashville Unleashed honors these concepts, yet offers a more personal experience for the audience.Much thought and care has gone in to the design of the set, placed right in the center of Natchez Hills vineyard's 4,000 sq ft Concert Center, with the songwriters surrounded by a limited audience.The vintage touches give Ticket Holders the sense of being in the "living room" of the songwriters as they enjoy an unforgettable experience.

"We are very excited about Steve's appearance this week. Jack & I have worked with him in the past and he is a gifted songwriter himself. This show will allow Steve to spotlight the his greatest musical influence, James Taylor, with sheer elegance and precision. Not many people can pull that off." says Diane, host of Nashville Unleashed.
