<p><strong><em>Billy Yates' Hit Songwriters in the Round will debut at the Americana Theatre April 6, 2018</em></strong></p>
<p>Branson, MO (December 11, 2017) - <strong>Billy Yates' Hit Songwriters in the Round</strong> will debut April 6, 2018 at the Americana Theatre on the famed 76 Country Music Boulevard strip in Branson. The first three shows will feature two of Nashville's most gifted songwriters, <strong>Kerry Kurt Phillips</strong>, whose songwriting credits include:<em> "Prop Me Up Beside the Jukebox (If I Die)"</em> (Joe Diffie), <em>"Down On The Farm"</em> (Tim McGraw), and <em>"She Let Herself Go"</em> (George Strait), along with <strong>Wynn Varble</strong>, star of the hit TV series, <em>Joey and Rory</em>, whose songwriting credits include: <em>"Have You Forgotten"</em> (Darryl Worley), <em>"Waitin' On A Woman"</em> (Brad Paisley), and<em> "A Little More Country Than That"</em> (Easton Corbin).</p>
<p>This unscripted, unplugged, and unbelievable 90-minute show will bring the best in performing songwriter experiences to the stage, where the award-winning/Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter, <strong>Billy Yates</strong>, will introduce the audience to the world of performing songwriters, as two other hit songwriter/artists from Nashville will join Billy on stage each week to casually tell the stories behind the songs they play.

<p>Most Branson show goers got to know Billy Yates during the past two seasons as he starred in the hit country music production, <strong>Raiding the Country Vault</strong>. "When I got to Branson last year, I realized that with so much variety in the shows and attractions, there was still something missing. Having spent the last 30 years in Nashville, the thing I missed most was the amazing songwriter shows that have become a true Nashville experience in the Music City where hit songwriters share with the audience their original versions of songs they've written, along with the stories that inspired them," said Yates. "I believe that a show like this in Branson, featuring the best writers in the business, is something the folks here are sure to love".</p>
<p>Each show will include a meet and greet, and the audience will have a chance to personally "thank a songwriter" . . . the unseen heroes behind the music of our lives. </p>
<p>In addition to his own 'Hit Songwriters in the Round' show, Yates will continue singing some of his favorite Country classics at the Starlite Theatre in Raiding the Country Vault in 2018, so make plans to attend both shows as you schedule your Branson vacation.</p>

<p>Billy Yates' "Too Country" tour recently made stops in Holland, Denmark, Switzerland, and in Norway. One of the highlights for Yates was the fact that his fourteen year old son, Grayson and wife, Nancy, accompanied him on the tour. At the first stop in Holland, young Grayson made his European performing debut and received such a warm welcome and made many fans. I'm sure it won't be Grayson's last trip to perform in Europe!</p>
<p>With four shows in just over two weeks, it left the entire family with some time to see the sights and enjoy the trip with a number of European friends. "It's always fun to have the family over with me and for them to meet so many of the friends I've made there over the years," said Yates, who has been touring Europe for the past fourteen years.</p>
<p>Watch for more European tour dates coming up soon, including a UK show on October 1 in England, then on to Spain and France later that same month.</p>

<p>Having done several art projects, which include a mural on one of George’s tour busses a few years ago, and knowing that Jones always appreciated Yates’ artistic talents, Nancy Jones asked the award-winning singer/songwriter to design all of the outdoor signs for the new museum. “This was a true labor of love for the artists that has done so much for me personally and for my career. It was an absolute honor to design the signs, knowing that it would be the first thing people see as they approach the museum on 2<sup>nd</sup> Avenue in Nashville,” says Yates, who wrote a total of six songs for the Country Music Legend.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Watch for the new Rhonda Vincent/Willie Nelson duet coming soon on Rhonda's latest CD. Rhonda Vincent had this to say about the cut:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“Billy Yates wrote the songs <em>Choices</em> and <em>I Don’t Need No Rockin’ Chair</em> for George Jones. The irony is that I found this song on the same day as the George Jones memorial service at the Grand Ole Opry.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The song is in the same vein as Willie’s song, <em>On The Road Again</em>, which is why I thought it would be perfect for Willie to sing and play on this one.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We recorded it in a straight bluegrass style, with Aaron McDaris kicking off the song on banjo, and the other musicians of The Rage trading licks with Willie throughout the song.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I can’t wait for you to hear it!!”</p>
