Some songwriters write songs.
Some songwriters write hits.
Steve Dean has done both.
With multiple #1 songs to his credit, including "Watching You" recorded by Rodney Atkins, plus hits for George Strait, Reba McEntire, Alabama, The Oak Ridge Boys, and Lee Greenwood, Steve has spent decades turning great ideas into songs that connect with millions of listeners.
At the Gatlinburg Songwriters Festival, you'll have the chance to hear the stories behind those songs, learn from one of Nashville's most accomplished writers, and experience the craft of songwriting up close.
This isn't a concert. It's a rare opportunity to sit in the room with the people who create the music we all know and love.
Real songs.
Real stories.
Real Gatlinburg.
