NSAI In Washington For Music Licensing Talks
The Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) was in Washington, D.C. this week for meetings with members of Congress regarding music licensing reform and the upcoming Senate confirmation hearings for Dr. Carla Hayden.
Hayden has been nominated by President Barack Obama as Librarian of Congress who oversees the U.S. Copyright Office. In addition to NSAI Board member Tim Nichols, Jimmy Yeary and Deric Ruttan (pictured above), NSAI’s Bart Herbison, Jennifer Turnbow and Libby Oellerich also participated in the event.
Frankie Ballard Takes London
Taking his electrifying set overseas, Warner Bros. Records/Warner Music Nashville’s Frankie Ballard played two sold out shows at London’s Hoxton Bar and Brooklyn Bowl. Ballard brought huge crowds to his Birmingham, Glasgow and Manchester shows as well.
“It’s a dream come true to be this far from home and discover people who know your music,” said Ballard. “Hearing my lyrics sung with a British accent makes me so happy!”
Ballard is heading to Germany next week for three more shows before returning to the U.S.
