SESAC hosted a “Give + Love” blood drive and spare change/canned food donation event for the American Red Cross and Second Harvest Food Bank at its Nashville headquarters. A steady stream of artists, songwriters and Music Row personnel stopped by to lend a hand with donations. The event, which was sponsored by Urban Flats, Provence Bread & Café, vitaminwater and MusicRow Magazine, helped raise enough blood to help over 80 patients and provide over 500 meals for Nashville’s hungry.

A mix of Nashville executives and artists turned out for rising country singer Tyler Reeve‘s industry showcase at the Mercy Lounge. Reeve delivered an eight-song set before jumping back on his tour bus and heading to Tallahassee, Fla. The husky-voiced singer performed a mix of material from his 2008 debut, Whiskey Down, as well as several songs from his upcoming release, to be co-produced this fall by hit songwriter and producer Jonathan Singleton. Reeve was the only independent artist featured on the Country Throwdown Tour’s Outlaw Stage this summer, following a breakout year that saw him perform nearly 250 shows in 2009.
