The Nashville Songwriters series returns to the Temple Theater tonight in downtown Meridian with Wynn Varble, David Lee and Dallas Frazier.

The show starts at 7 p.m. Admission is $10.

Frazier, now 70, is one of country music's most enduring songwriters. Skilled on many musical instruments by the age of 12, he became a featured member of Ferlin Husky's band when still in his teens.

His songs include "Elvira," "There Goes My Everything," and "Beneath Still Waters."

Frazier's songs have been recorded by some of the biggest names in the music industry, including Elvis Presley, Emmylou Harris, George Strait, George Jones, Randy Travis, Willie Nelson and Charley Pride.

Wynn Varble has been playing guitar since he first picked one up at the age of 15.

His first No. 1 song was "Have You Forgotten" with Darryl Worley in 2003. Other artists who have recorded his songs include Garth Brooks, Brad Paisley, Montgomery Gentry, Gary Allen, Trace Adkins, Tracy Byrd, Mark Chesnutt, Sammy Kershaw and Lee Ann Womack.

Grammy nominated songwriter David Lee's first recorded song was "This Ol' Heart" by Terri Clark. That was followed by John Michael Montgomery's "This One's Gonna Leave A Mark," and "Now You See Me Now You Don't," recorded by Lee Ann Womack.

After signing with BMG Music Publishing Lee's first No. 1 song was "19 Somethin'," recorded by Mark Wills. Other hits he penned include "Lucky Man" recorded by Montgomery Gentry, "I Need You" by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill and "I Wanna Feel Somethin'" recorded by Trace Adkins.
