CMA Honors Triple Play Writers

October 14, 2010/by admin

(L-R) Steve Moore (CMA CEO), Dierks Bentley, Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, Darius Rucker, Brad Paisley, Victoria Shaw (songwriter and Chair of CMA's Community Outreach & Education Committee), Taylor Swift, Alan Jackson, and Gary Overton (CMA Board President).

“This is an amazing accomplishment and we are very pleased to honor these talented songwriters, and songwriting artists, for their valued contribution to the format,” said Steve Moore, CMA Chief Executive Officer. “They each have a rare talent that is a gift for all of us to enjoy.”

The CMA Triple Play Awards, which honor songwriters who pen three chart-topping hits in a 12 month period, were presented at the Second Annual CMA Songwriters Luncheon, which was held at the Pinnacle at Symphony Place in Nashville. Attendees included Dierks Bentley, Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, and Keith Urban in addition to hit tunesmiths from ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC, as well as songwriter members of CMA, NSAI, and representatives of some of the most successful publishers in Music City.

“CMA represents every aspect of the Country Music industry and it’s important for us to regularly communicate and reach out to the songwriters with information about what CMA does on their behalf and why it’s important to be a member of the CMA,” said noted songwriter/producer Victoria Shaw who chairs the CMA Community Outreach and Education Committee.
