SESAC executives, affiliated songwriter Roxie Dean and many others gathered at the Bluebird Café to celebrate the introduction of the Songwriter Equity Act to the U.S. Senate, following a previous introduction in the House of Representatives. Senators Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) were in Nashville to announce the legislation to amend federal law to allow songwriters to be compensated for the fair market value of their work.
