Former "American Idol" judge and hit songwriter Kara DioGuardi will join Jeff Cohen, Sacha Skarbek and Jamie Scott at The Listening Room Cafe late show, and Tin Pan South's newest venues, The Sutler and Blue Bar will host some of the hottest songwriters in the business at both 6:30 and 9:30pm shows tonight. Any show with Bob DiPiero at the helm is guaranteed to solicit gut-wrenching laughter, and he will host Brandon Kinney, Tina Parol, Jason Gantt and Greylan James at the Hard Rock Cafe late show.
