Connor Pledger, who is a Top 25 artist in the 2023 Song Contest, was selected as a winner in American Songwriter’s “Home Sweet Home” promotion with his song “Drunk In Paris”.
Part of his prize offering was a full-day of recording time at legendary Blackbird Studios located in Nashville, TN.
Connor recently conducted his recording session which was captured by Inside Blackbird’s production crew.
