Singer/songwriter Graham Nash will be hosting a new music program exclusively for XM Satellite Radio, entitled "SongStories with Graham Nash". The half-hour show spotlights Nash interviewing many of music's most talented and successful songwriters about the stories behind their songs, their overall creative process and the art of songwriting itself.

The interviews grew from the conversations held while writing Nash's book, "Off The Record." The book presents the text of 25 such interviews along with rare photographs and handwritten manuscripts of the lyrics for the featured song.

Carole King, Paul Williams, Waylon Jennings and Ben E. King are among the artists who will be featured during the first several episodes.  

The premiere episode features Nash's conversation with Steve Cropper about "Sittin' On the Dock of the Bay," the GRAMMY-winning #1 Cropper co-wrote with the legendary Otis Redding. It also features Graham and Grace Slick discussing "White Rabbit," Slick's psychedelic hit from Jefferson Airplane's classic 1967 LP Surrealistic Pillow. Future episodes will feature Carole King on "I Feel the Earth Move," Waylon Jennings on "Good Hearted Woman," and Ben E. King on "Stand By Me."

"SongStories with Graham Nash" debuts Monday, August 21st on The Loft (ch 50), with new episodes airing every other week and encores airing throughout the month.
