Cozy up to your computer and tune in to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s YouTube channel when a new, five-episode video series “Words & Music: Journey of a Song,” debuts on Wednesday, Dec. 13.
With guidance from songwriting mentors Tenille Townes, Shannon Sanders, Caitlyn Smith, and Cameron Bedell, four students will perform and record an original tune.
The first four episodes on the museum’s YouTube channel highlight each of the students’ experiences co-writing with a mentor songwriter, workshopping + recording the song, and then adapting it for the stage.

- Episode 3 | “Ticket” | Max Rees and Caitlyn Smith | Dec. 27
