Inspired by Country Music Hall of Fame member and lifelong ASCAP songwriter Don Schlitz, who performs every week at Room In The Inn, ASCAP features songwriters to perform at the shelter once a month throughout 2018, while ASCAP staff volunteer to serve the guests.
In May, the series featured hit songwriter Mark Irwin (“Here in the Real World,” “Highway Don’t Care”), who will also lead the upcoming ASCAP Foundation Garth Brooks Country Songwriters Workshop at the ASCAP Nashville office May 29-31. ASCAP’s Kele Currier and Robert Filhart were on hand to serve the guests at Room In The Inn alongside staff and volunteers.
Room In The Inn’s mission is to provide programs that emphasize human development and recovery through education, self-help and work, centered in community and long term support for those who call the streets of Nashville home.
