It’s officially Awards Week in Music City. First on the agenda was the 2024 SESAC Nashville Music Awards, thrown at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum on Sunday night (Nov. 17).
More than 400 songwriters and publishers socialized in the Museum’s beautiful event hall, which overlooks the Nashville skyline. The performing rights organization spared no expense decorating the space, arranging moody purple lighting and a gorgeous stage area with the SESAC logo prominently displayed. Guitar art by Nashville artist Rob Hendon decorated the hall, and elegant florals punctuated the room.

In addition to the red carpet, there was a fun, collage-style photo booth for attendees to enjoy. It had clippings of SESAC affiliates’ hits of the past year, lyrics and photos. To snack on were offerings of Philly cheesesteak bites, tater tos, cheddar rolls, sandwich sliders, a roast-flavored dish with vegetables and mashed potatoes, a mac and cheese stand, fresh charcuterie and more, and the drinks were flowing. It was a celebration to get the week started.
SESAC Chief Creative Officer Sam Kling welcomed the crowd, sharing the company’s gratitude for their affiliates. He then turned it over to SVP, Head of Nashville Creative Shannan Hatch to host the evening. Hatch recognized some of the accomplishments that SESAC affiliates had achieved over the past year, such as Victoria Shaw going into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and various songwriters being nominated for ACM, CMA and other awards.
Senior Director of Creative Services, ET Brown, appeared to recognize winners in the Americana genre, including Sierra Ferrell, Ed Jurdi, Gordy Quist, Rachael Price, Seth Avett, Scott Avett and Bob Crawford.
Soon after, Brown’s fellow Senior Director of Creative Services Lydia Cahill joined them on stage to start presenting the country awards to the PRO’s top performers. Each songwriter and publisher announced joined the executives on stage while their song played over the speakers and their peers hooped and hollered for them. The songs that were awarded are listed below.
Megan Moroney served as one of the night’s performers, enchanting the crowd with her new single “Am I Okay?” She was also the recipient of the SESAC Spotlight Award in recognition of her recent achievements, including critical acclaim of her latest album, a new headlining tour to begin in 2025, three CMA Award nominations and more.
“A lot of dreams have come true the past few years, and I’ve gotten to do some fun and exciting things, but there’s nothing more fulfilling than writing songs,” Moroney said. “I love songwriting so much and I love my songwriting friends. It fills my soul.”

Warren Zeiders performed his smash hit “Pretty Little Poison” alongside co-writers Jared Keim and Ryan Beaver. The song was then named SESAC’s Song of the Year.
The SESAC Songwriter of the Year went to Jaron Boyer, who co-wrote hits “Let Your Boys Be Country” recorded by Jason Aldean and “Mind On You” performed by George Birge. To honor this achievement, Gibson created a custom guitar, and Jostens provided a one-of-a-kind ring for Boyer.
“I almost retired from songwriting a couple years ago and some good friends helped me not quit,” Boyer said, naming some peers and publishers that helped him along the way. “I first need to thank Jesus Christ. None of us would be here if it wasn’t for him.”
Warner Chappell Music took home the title of Publisher of the Year, after winning multiple awards throughout the night.

Dasha Wows Sold-Out Exit/In With Dynamic Vocals & Captivating Narratives
/by Madison HahnenDasha. Photo: Acacia Evans
At the start of 2024, Dasha played an opening slot at The Basement in front of just over 100 people, not knowing she was on the cusp of her breakout year. Thursday night (Nov. 14), she got to celebrate her monumental year in front of a sold-out crowd at Nashville’s Exit/In, as part of her “Dashville, U.S.A. Tour.” The spectacular night marked the Warner Records artist first headlining Nashville show.
In front of an already buzzing crowd, singer-songwriter Steinza played on stage with just his guitar accompanying him. He serenaded the crowd with his own original tunes such as “Tricked,” “Visions Of You,” “The Former” and more, and offered unreleased track “High And Dry” before ending his soulful set with “Taste The Dirt.”
To keep the party going, the crowd was treated to a DJ set while waiting. Line dancing lessons were also in play, turning the Exit/In into its own honky tonk. The lessons capped off with everyone doing Dasha’s viral line dance to “Austin,” turning up the anticipation even more.
With a pink neon sign illuminating the room, it became time for Dasha to hit the stage. Instantly receiving love from the crowd, the country-pop sensation started off with the fiery “What Happens Now?” the title track of her sophomore album. She then treated the fans to “Heartbreaker From Tennessee,” which was just released on Friday (Nov. 15).
Taking a moment to take in the scene, Dasha expressed her gratitude for everyone being there before going into “Ain’t No Friend Of Mine,” with the crowd bopping along. Before heading into the next tune, Dasha wanted to queue the venue in on the making of What Happens Now? that released in September.
“While I was writing this, I realized that I have some patterns I need to break. I do this thing where I love going back to my exes,” Dasha quipped. “A lot of songs on this album are about realizing that.”
With her guitar in hand, she began catchy tune “Leaving Don’t Mean Goodbye,” before singing a girls-night-out anthem “Way Too Drunk.” Bringing her magnifying stage presence back to the forefront, she wowed the room with “Run Like Hell” before surprising them with an unreleased track, during where she borrowed a fan’s cowboy hat.
“A lot of this album is based out of this horrible heartbreak I went through,” she shared. “I learned a lot about myself, about the world, about life… I realized the way that people treat you is a reflection of how they’ve been treating themselves.” To demonstrate this message, back in the center of the stage with her guitar, Dasha performed powerful story song “Even Cowboys Cry,” in awe as the crowd spontaneously shined their cell phone lights.
To keep the soft, acoustic moment going, her band exited the stage as she went into “42,” her personal favorite on her sophomore project, where she let her vocals power through the room. Steinza was then welcomed back on stage where the two performed “Drown Me” together, a song they co-wrote with Taylor Fernandez.
Continuing her pattern of being vulnerable with the crowd, Dasha went on to explain the story behind “Talk Of The Town,” a tune about everyone in her small hometown of San Louis Obispo, California knowing about a relationship she was trying to keep under wraps.
Turning the energy back up, she performed upbeat tracks “King Of California” and “Share This City” before treating the attentive crowd to another unreleased tune, “Not At This Party,” making the crowd eager for her next album. As the night was winding down, Dasha, and the Exit/In, still had a lot more to give. Playfully dancing into the words, Dasha took control of the stage for “Bye Bye Bye,” interacting flawlessly with her fans, before going into recent fan favorite “Didn’t I?”
“Nashville: are you guys ready?” Dasha exclaimed as she looked around the still-full room. The band lead everyone into her breakout, viral hit single “Austin,” with every single person fully in tune. After singing part of the song from stage, Dasha hopped over the barricade and went into the crowd to lead everyone in a giant line dance session. The intimate and spectacular moment with the crowd left everyone on a high, and further solidified her star power.
Dasha completed her “Dashville, U.S.A. Tour” on Friday in Atlanta. She will wrap up the year performing on numerous stops of the “iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour.”

/by Lorie HollabaughBill Medley
Bill Medley of the Grammy-winning duo The Righteous Brothers will release his first new album in over a decade, Straight From The Heart, on Feb. 14.
Produced by Fred Mollin, the 12-track collection will shine a new light on Medley’s unmistakable baritone as he covers country ballads alongside some of the industry’s biggest stars including Vince Gill, Michael McDonald, Keb’ Mo’ and Shawn Colvin. In celebration of the album announcement, Medley released a second single from the album, “(Since You’ve) Gone [ft. Keb’ Mo’],” a rendition of the 1950’s classic which was originally recorded by country singer Ferlin Husky, and went on to become a 10-week chart-topper and Husky’s second career No. 1. The single follows the previously released “These Days (ft. Vince Gill)” from the new project.
“I’ve always had a deep love and appreciation for country music and at its core, a pure country ballad is the blues,” says Medley. “Straight From The Heart allowed me to pay tribute to the incredible country singers and writers that I admire, and at the same time, honor who I am in my soul. Working alongside artists like Vince Gill, Keb’ Mo’, Michael McDonald and Shawn Colvin on this album was truly magical.”
After his trip to Nashville with Kenny Rogers in 1978, Medley began a lifetime of relationships and experiences with the country music community, including earning an ACM nomination for Top New Male Vocalist of the Year in 1985. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer went on to open for Loretta Lynn, toured with Alabama and spent time with iconic artists like Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell and Kris Kristofferson, among many others.

Tracy Lawrence Unveils Mission:Possible Benefit Concert Lineup
/by Madison HahnenCountry music star Tracy Lawrence has revealed the lineup for his 19th annual Mission:Possible benefit concert, taking place Nov. 26 at Category 10 in Nashville.
Jamey Johnson and Meghan Patrick will take the stage alongside Lawrence with special guest Halfway To Hazard also set to join the evening.
Last year’s concert raised over $250,000, marking the largest amount ever raised through the annual show. The concert follows Lawrence’s annual Turkey Fry, held at the Nashville Fairgrounds. This year’s Thanksgiving tradition is aiming to exceed last year’s record of 1,400 turkeys fried.
Since its inception, Lawrence’s Mission:Possible initiative has fried over 10,000 turkeys, served more than 86,000 meals to the homeless throughout Middle Tennessee, donated over $1 million to the Nashville Rescue Mission and raised more than $2.5 million to advocate for those in need and expand its reach to aligned causes.
Last week, Lawrence revealed his new all-natural injectable marinade, now available for purchase on his website, with a portion of proceeds supporting Mission:Possible. The marinade will be sold at both the turkey fry and the benefit concert.
Tickets are still available for the 19th annual Mission:Possible benefit concert.
