Songwriters Hall of Fame Launches New Web Site

The Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame Foundation (NaSHOF) has launched its completely revamped Web site, http://nashvillesongwritersfoundation.com/. Improvements to the site include more detailed biographical information and multiple images of all of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame members, an updated and more accessible news section, an area about Hall of Fame members in the news and first-time features, including Q&A's with Mike Reid and Bobby Braddock. "It's been our goal for some time to update the site to make it more interactive and user-friendly," said Roger Murrah, Chairman of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame Foundation. "This is part of our mission to educate, celebrate and archive the contributions of these writers. Visitors to the site can now easily obtain more information on our members, the business of songwriting, and what we're doing as an organization."   Established in 1970, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame boasts 168 members, including songwriting luminaries such as Johnny Cash, Rodney Crowell, Bob Dylan, Don & Phil Everly, Flatt & Scruggs, Vince Gill, Harlan Howard, Bob McDill, Roger Miller, Bill Monroe, Roy Orbison, Dolly Parton, Carl Perkins, Dottie Rambo, Jimmie Rodgers, Cindy Walker, Jimmy Webb, Hank Williams, Sr. and Hank Williams, Jr.    It was announced in September 2007 that the future home of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame will be the historic building at 34 Music Square East, former home of the Quonset Hut, Columbia Studio A, Columbia and Epic Records and Sony Music Nashville.  The Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame will become the first organization honoring songwriters to emerge from a virtual existence to a physical location.
