Created by singer-songwriter Eric Paslay, Song in a Hat offers attendees a unique opportunity to experience the songwriting process in Music City. Guests will write a song idea or title on a slip of paper and toss it into a hat. Eric will randomly draw one slip out of the hat, and that guest will join him and the other songwriters on stage to help co-write a song!
