 Superstar songwriters Dean
Dillon and Jamey Johnson will salute
Hank Cochran at a tribute concert on November 16.
The pair will host the event, gathering friends
of the late songwriter for what promises to be an
unforgettable night of music and memories.
Top-tier tunesmith Scotty Emerick ("Beer For
My Horses," "I Love This Bar"),
joins the lineup, which also includes hit
songwriter/producer Buddy Cannon ("Set 'Em
Up Joe," "Give It Away;" Kenny
Chesney, Willie Nelson, Jamey Johnson) and
singer/songwriter Jesse Whitley, son of the late
Keith Whitley. The tribute kicks off the final
evening of the 10-day long 30th Frank Brown
International Songwriters' Festival, held
"live on the line" from the
world-famous FloraBama Lounge. The club is
located at 17401 Perdido Key Drive, Perdido Key,
Florida; the music starts at 6 p.m.
Hank will be inducted into the Country Music Hall
of Fame later this month. The award follows his
1967 inclusion in the Country Music Foundation's
Walkway of Stars, the unanimous vote that earned
him his place in the Nashville Songwriters Hall
of Fame (1974) and a place in the Mississippi
Musicians' Hall of Fame (2003). His catalog has
generated more than 36 million performances.www.FrankBrownSongwriters.com
