The Hit List: Nashville's Writer's Round

The Writers Behind the Hits: Nashville's Top Songwriters Come to The Church Studio

Step inside a Nashville songwriter round and hear the stories behind songs recorded                           by Carrie Underwood, Dan + Shay, Luke Bryan, and more.

Tulsa music fans will have a rare opportunity to hear the stories behind some of country music's biggest hits when The Hit List: Nashville's Writer's Round comes to The Church Studio on  July 17, 2026.

Presented by Talent Fountain and Black Sheep Tequila, The Hit List brings the songwriters behind hits recorded by Carrie Underwood, Dan + Shay, Luke Bryan, Morgan Wallen, Blake Shelton, Michael Ray, Mitchell Tenpenny, and more to Tulsa for an intimate Nashville-style songwriter round.

Rather than a traditional concert, guests will experience the songs the way they were born, one writer, one guitar, and one story at a time. Throughout the evening, Grammy Award-winning songwriter Chris DeStefano and hitmaker Justin Wilson will perform the songs they've written, sharing the inspiration, unexpected moments, and behind-the-scenes stories that turned ideas into chart-topping hits.

Collectively, DeStefano and Wilson have earned 21 No. 1 songs and more than 150 artist cuts.

Together, DeStefano and Wilson have written songs recorded by Carrie Underwood, Dan + Shay, Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton, Morgan Wallen, Michael Ray, Mitchell Tenpenny, Randy Houser, Jason Aldean, Rascal Flatts, and many more. During this intimate Nashville-style songwriter round, they'll share the stories behind the hits and perform the songs that made them favorites with fans across the country.

“Tulsa has earned its reputation as the ‘other Music City,’ and The Church Studio is a big reason why,” said Chris DeStefano. “I’m excited to perform in such an iconic room and share a memorable evening of music and stories.”
