  • Songwriter Spotlight: Ed Hill

    Ed Hill grew up on a cotton farm in the San Joaquin Valley of California between Bakersfield and Fresno. He became the house piano player and backing band at both the legendary Blackboard Café in Bakersfield and the Palimino Club in North Hollywood. In those clubs, he backed legendary artists like Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson, Marty Robbins and Willie Nelson before becoming part of the Grammy Nominated Mickey Gilleys Urban Cowboy Band. He moved to Nashville and made the career switch to full time songwriter and never looked back. He was BMI Songwriter of the Year in 2006 and has had 13 Top Ten Billboard songs and four Number Ones. Probably for Ed, the most meaningful recognition has come from his peers at the Nashville Songwriters Association who have awarded him four times the “Songs I Wish I Had Written” Award for “It Matters To Me,” “Georgia Rain,” “Find Out Who Your Friends Are,” and “Just Fishin.”
