BMI’s Sr. Director of Writer/Publisher Relations Mark Mason, BMI’s Director of Writer/Publisher Relations David Preston and BMI’s Assistant VP of Writer/Publisher Relations Clay Bradley presented the songwriter with awards representing songwriting and publishing credits for more than 10 million air plays for some of Emerick’s hits, including “I Love This Bar,” “Beer For My Horses,” “As Good As I Once Was” and “Big Blue Note.” All of the songs were recorded by Toby Keith.

“BMI Is proud to recognize hit songwriter Scotty Emerick for his many accomplishments,” said Bradley.
The designation has been given to many of BMI’s songwriters, including Toby Keith, Sir Paul McCartney, Dolly Parton, Isaac Hayes and Roy Orbison.
