"Tunesmithing on Music Row" will feature a performance by hit songwriter Gregory Fisher on Thursday, November 5. The songwriting event also will feature performances by hit CCM/gospel songwriter Dwight Liles, pianist/singer/composer Donna Michael, and the pop/country trio Drobac and Shaw (Dan Drobac, John Shaw and Kimberly Maiers Shaw). Chuck Whiting will emcee the show. "Tunesmithing" is sponsored by Whiting Publicity & Promotions.

Fisher is a nationally respected recording artist, composer and songwriter who returns to the Nashville stage after a 25-year absence. He grew up in Seneca, Mo., as a budding musician intent on finding success in the Christian music industry. At age 14, he was singing and speaking in churches across the country. He moved to Nashville in the mid-'80s to pursue his dream to move people through music as a writer and performer. He had the good fortune of becoming an advertising manager and staff writer for the Benson Music Group, a major Christian record and publishing company. In just two years, he had landed numerous CCM and gospel hits, including the number one contemporary Christian classic, Yeshua Ha Mashiack. In 1985, he quit the music business to embark on a mission of self-discovery. His more-than-two-octave tenor vocals and heartfelt melodies and lyrics touch audiences with honesty, transparency, authenticity and vulnerability. The artist's musical styling features a mix of classical, theatre and gospel. He recently released a preview EP of original songs titled Everlasting Arms. A debut album of original songs, There At The Edge, is currently being recorded. As a songwriter for Benson Music Group, he penned hit songs and album cuts for acts such as Scott Wesley Brown, Steve Green, First Call, Cynthia Clawson, Geoff Moore, Janet Pascall, Candy Hemphill, and Truth. Yeshua Ha Mashiack (co-written with Greg Davis and performed by Brown) garnered a Dove Award nomination for "Song of the Year".
