Songwriters Hall of Fame members Mac Davis and Sonny Curtis will join new artists Angie Johnson, Jaida Dreyer, Paul Sikes, Leah Turner, Erin Enderlin and others to give a glimpse into the history and the future of songwriting, and hit pop songwriter and former "American Idol" judge Kara DioGuardi returns this year.
