(Nashville, Tennessee...) -- February 7, 2011 -- The Songwriter Agency today announced award-winning singer/songwriter/instrumentalist Steve Wariner has joined the agency's roster for bookings. A four-time GRAMMY winner, Wariner has charted over 30 Top 10 singles and earned 16 BMI Country Awards as a songwriter. "Steve is exactly the type of artist The Songwriter Agency was created to serve," said company president and co-founder Paul Compton. "His list of awards and accolades as a writer, singer and musician is matched only by the talent he displays on stage and love he has for his fans." Steve Wariner's four GRAMMY Awards include Best Country Collaboration with Vocals in 1992; and in 2000 and 2009 for Best Country Instrumental Performance, before his Chet Atkins tribute earned him the Country Instrumental GRAMMY in 2010.  During his career he has charted 14 #1 hits--songs like "Some Fools Never Learn," "Small Town Girl," "The Weekend," and "I Should Be With You." In 1998 he won the Country Music Association's Single and Song of the Year awards for his #1 hit, "Holes in the Floor of Heaven," which was also the Academy of Country Music's Song of the Year in 1999.  He joined the Grand Ole Opry in 1996.   In addition to his 16 BMI Country Awards he has earned 15 Million-Air Awards for songs receiving over one million on-air plays. With 15 Million-Air Awards, Steve has reached a rare plateau achieved by only a fraction of BMI writer/artists including Chuck Berry, Stevie Nicks, Randy Owen, Hank Williams, Jr., Mike Love of the Beach Boys and Steve Winwood. In 2002 Steve started his own record label, SelecTone Records. He was inducted into the Music City Walk of Fame in 2008 and will be inducted into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame in April. "I'm excited to be working with the team at The Songwriter Agency," said Wariner. "They provide a unique and valuable service because they understand songwriters.
