In keeping with our well-earned reputation as "Nashville's Renegade Record Label and
The Home of the Three-Hour Lunch", The Oat showcase is not a grim writer's night...
but more like Happy Hour with music. (In other words, in addition to the fine music,
it's a social event, and an excellent time is always had by all.)

Among the songwriters performing at past Oat Songwriter Showcase events have been
Steve Haggard, Joel Alan Lehman, Garry Jackson, Bryon Russell, Kimberly King and
Mark Brine. All of them will be returning to the OSS in the near future, and several 
other Oat artists and friends will also be appearing in the coming months.

The Oat showcases are held on the second Wednesday of every month, always from
7:00-7:30 PM. (And they're free !!) You'll find the schedule below, plus some photos...
we hope to see you at a showcase soon !
