40 Minutes with Kurt Fortmeyer About Songwriting in Nashville

Here is a veteran songwriter who was kind enough to sit with me and explain how songwriting really works in Nashville.
His story is of packing his things and coming to Nashville to write songs. Kurt has an earthy down home goodness to his soul.

I believe when he co-writes with another songwriter he is teaching as much as writing. Kurt's songs are some of the best I could find in the current songwriting community.

He was selected as the 2014 "Best of the Best" songwriter by the Nashville Ear. His songs are loved by all the real songwriters who understand good lyrics and great stories told in verse.

This interview was conducted at the County Q studios in Nashville in conjunction with a TV show entitled "The Road to Music City"

Here is about 40 min of songwriting wisdom.
