In this episode you meet the one and only - Victoria Shaw. From New York to LA to Nashville, Victoria has written songs for Garth Brooks, Lady A, John Michael Montgomery, Ricky Martin, Doug Stone, Jim Brickman and more. She is so incredibly talented and through that talent has won herself an ACM Award for Song of the Year, two daytime Emmy Awards Outstanding Original Song, 4 Emmy nominations and several ASCAP and SESAC Awards. She's going to talk about how she met Garth Brooks, the story behind the song she wrote with him "The River" and how she ended up opening up for him in Central Park. You'll get to hear about how she moved to Nashville and got into songwriting in the first place and what this journey has been like for her.
