Sony Music Publishing Nashville Launches New Podcast
Sony Music Publishing Nashville has launched Thank A Songwriter, a new podcast that celebrates the artistry and impact of songwriters shaping country music and beyond.
Hosted by Sony Music Publishing Nashville CEO Rusty Gaston, the debut episode of the podcast features part one of an in-depth conversation with multi-award-winning songwriter Ashley Gorley. It will release tomorrow (June 12), the day of Gorley’s induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
In this episode, Gorley reflects on his expansive journey as a songwriter, as well as the significance of his induction. Future episodes will showcase a wide range of acclaimed SMP songwriters across genres, where they will share their stories, influences and the personal truths that fuel their creativity.
“We’re thrilled to launch Thank A Songwriter and honored to welcome the legendary Ashley Gorley as our first featured guest ahead of his well-deserved induction into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame,” Gaston says. “We couldn’t be more excited to commemorate Ashley’s prestigious honor, and we are so lucky to be a part of his journey.”
Of the induction, Gorley shares, “It’s writers and people like that voting for this. It’s a different kind of thing than some of the other awards, so this one definitely, so far in my career, means the most to me. That I would even be in the same breath as the people getting up there means the most to me.”
Listeners will be able to tune into the first episode here.
