In 1993, Lydia Hutchinson founded PerformingSongwriter out of sheer love of music.
It all started in the guest bedroom of a little townhome in Nashville. There was no business plan, no financial backing and no staff. Just an old beige Mac, a older beige scanner, and a belief that starting a magazine about something you love is totally possible.
It’s hard not to develop a reverence for the art and craft of songwriting when you live in Music City, USA. But in ’93 there was no way to find out about the inspiration behind a song that your favorite artist sang, or the bits of trivia that all music lovers long for. Radio was just beginning its decline into corporate ownership, so we were missing out on great songs that were being written. And there wasn’t a single place to go that felt like a community where creative people could support each other and find inspiration.
Performing Songwriter was just a humble and heartfelt attempt at creating a place for songwriters to come together in a safe community where they’re understood and supported and heard by those who love music.
Soon the magazine had a loyal following who felt pride and a sense of ownership in it, and we were getting our little subscription checks from the likes of Lyle Lovett, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Joan Baez, Shawn Colvin, Carole King, Paul Simon, Bonnie Raitt … Performing Songwriter became the place where artists could keep in touch with their friends and peers, and reach out to their fans on a community level.
Thirteen years later Performing Songwriter has grown into what it is today: a completely independent, smart, beautifully designed and widely distributed publication that informs and connects music makers with music lovers. Fully staffed by a group of committed, hard-working and enthusiastic people, it provides the place for everyone to feel a part of the community of passionate, opinionated and creative people who know the importance of music in all of our lives. And it just keeps getting better ….

PASTE is one of the fastest-growing independently published entertainment magazines in the country, receiving "Magazine of the Year" honors at the 2007 and 2006 PLUG Independent Music Awards. We pride ourselves in being the premier magazine for people who still enjoy discovering new music, prize substance and songcraft over fads and manufactured attitude, and appreciate quality music across a broad stylistic spectrum--indie rock, Triple-A, Americana, folk, blues, jazz, etc.
We strive to bring readers thoughtful analysis on the best in film, books and other aspects of popular (and alternative) culture. PLUS, every issue of PASTE contains a FREE sampler CD (packed with 20+ songs). The Paste Sampler CD is an invitation-only CD we treat as a glorified office mix-tape, not something to listen to once and rip the two or three good songs. What more could you want? (OK, maybe a free subscription. We'll try to get it bundled in with universal health care, how's that?)
