/in , /by

MusicRow has rescheduled its ninth annual Rising Women on the Row breakfast event to Thursday, Oct. 20, 2022 at the Omni Nashville Hotel, beginning at 8:30 a.m. The event, originally scheduled to take place in March of 2020, was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Presenting sponsors for this year’s Rising Women on the Row are City National Bank, Loeb & Loeb, and Tri Star Sports & Entertainment Group.

The ninth annual celebration will honor the next class of Rising Women on the Row honorees: Jen Conger (FBMM, Business Manager), JoJamie Hahr (BBR Music Group/BMG, Sr. VP), Mandy Morrison (City National Bank, Vice President/Senior Relationship Manager), Missy Roberts (Universal Music Publishing Group, VP, A&R), Jennie Smythe (Girlilla Marketing, CEO) and Stephanie Wright (UMG Nashville, Senior VP, A&R).

“We are so excited to now be able to honor these amazing women in the way they deserve,” says MusicRow Owner/Publisher Sherod Robertson. “These honorees represent hard work and dedication and they have made impressive levels of contributions to our music industry. It’s fitting that they have all continued to rise during these two years we were unable to have the live event. We are looking forward to bringing the industry together in person on October 20 and giving these accomplished rock stars the accolades they have earned.”
