BMI hosted a party for Nashville singer-songwriter Lera Lynn, who will be self-releasing her new album, Resistor, on April 29. Lynn wrote all 10 songs for the independent project, which was co-produced by Joshua Grange. In 2015, Lynn appeared as a barroom singer in HBO’s True Detective and contributed a handful of songs to the show’s soundtrack.

Tegan Marie, 12, Releasing New Single

Tegan Marie, a 12-year-old singer-songwriter and viral star, will join Granger Smith to perform at a benefit concert for Hurley Children’s Hospital in Flint, Michigan. Tegan Marie grew up in the Flint suburb of Grand Blanc and will be donating all the proceeds of her new single, “Lucky Me,” to the hospital, which is treating many of the young patients affected by the city’s water crisis.

Tegan Marie will open a show for Hunter Hayes in May in Orlando, Florida. She was discovered through her cover versions of hit country songs, including Kelsea Ballerini’s “Love Me Like You Mean It.” Ballerini and Tegan Marie later filmed a video of them performing it together. Tegan Marie’s 2015 holiday single, “A Christmas Tree,” was featured on SiriusXM, Radio Disney, Pandora, and more.
