Artist Description
For the past 20 years, Bob DiPiero has helped define the best that is Music Row. A legendarily funny and compelling performer, he is one of a handful setting the bar for present-day songwriter/entertainers.As a raconteur, he may have no equal among his peers, and as a musical ambassador and bridge-builder, he has helped make Nashville a port of call for legendary performers from all genres, writing with Neil Diamond, Carole King, Johnny Van Zant and Delbert McClinton, among many others.
He is one of Nashville's most consistent and prolific writers of hits, and he remains at the top of his profession more than two decades after hitting #1 on the charts for the first time in 1983. His long string of hits includes the Oak Ridge Boys’ "American Made," Montgomery Gentry's “If You Ever Stop Loving Me,” Vince Gill's "Worlds Apart," Shenandoah's "The Church On Cumberland Road," Ricochet's "Daddy's Money," George Strait "Blue Clear Sky," Brooks & Dunn's "You Can’t Take the Honky Tonk Out Of the Girl," and Martina McBride's "There You Are."
DiPiero has received three dozen BMI Country and Million-Air honors; CMA’s Triple Play Award in 1995 and 1996, “Song of the Year” for “Worlds Apart” at the Country Radio Music Awards in 1997, and Songwriter of the Year awards in 1998 at the Nashville Music Awards and in 2000 from Sony/ATV Nashville.

CMA Shows
I was never a "country" fan - mainly rock and classic rock. These shows are PHENOMENAL. The small venue combined with the attitude and stage presence of the artists / writers is unbelievable. I attended one show 2 years ago and haven't missed once since. I love these sessions. - Having Bob DiPiero host them makes the difference. He transitions between the artists and really encourages a "family" attitude among the artists as well as the audience.

I too am a NYC CMA member who has been to numerous shows. Kudos to Tammy Genovese (CMA) and Bob DiPiero and others for putting this show in our city. Highly recommend seeing Chuck Wicks at the upcoming September 9, 2009 show. Chuck is great talent.
