The legendary, Grammy-award winning Charlie Daniels Band will perform in concert as part of NSAI’s “IT ALL BEGINS WITH A SONG” Performance Series at the Wildhorse Saloon. Prior to the CDB, Old Union will take the stage. This show will be the first time since 2005’s July 4th Riverfront Celebration that there has been a full CDB concert in Nashville. For years Daniels' hosted musical extravaganzas – the Volunteer Jam – which served as a prototype for many of today's annual day-long music marathons, always featuring a variety of current stars and heritage artists. On October 12th, he will celebrate another career milestone – induction into the Musicians Hall of Fame.

“NSAI is honored that an American icon of Charlie Daniels’ stature recognizes our hard work in legislative advocacy on behalf of all songwriters. No one represents our motto, “IT ALL BEGINS WITH A SONG” better than the man whose music has crossed so many boundaries and genres to mark the moments of our lives,” said NSAI President, Grammy-nominated songwriter Steve Bogard. “The CDB’s help comes at a critical time in the music industry and will assist NSAI in continuing our important mission."

“We are honored that Charlie wants to support our advocacy work for songwriters,” said NSAI Executive Director Bart Herbison. “The truth is we are all huge fans and are so excited about this special night. And while we all love Charlie the artist, we also want to recognize his amazing songwriting. Did you know Charlie even wrote a song for Elvis Presley?”

Old Union was formed in Nashville in 2001 by Chuck Foster (keyboards and lead vocals), Johnny Zvolensky (guitars), Steve Spotty Swertfeger (guitars and vocals) and David Bryndal (drums), with the recent addition Professor "JDubb" Williams (bass). They have acquired the reputation as one of the best song-oriented bands working today with an aggressive rock edge drenched in Southern soul.
