Were you a country music fan?
I was a huge music fan. Music is huge in my family. My mom loves The Boss, and my dad is very eclectic—jazz, folk, you name it. I didn’t get into country until later in high school.
Was music always the plan?
I actually started college on the pre-med track. Music was always part of my life; we sang, though I wasn’t very good at it. My uncle was a doctor and went to Marquette University, and I thought I wanted to follow that path. I loved it and was a strong student, but during my sophomore year, a friend suggested that I try out for a program called Marquette Superstar.

I did it, and it was so fun. I ended up winning. That introduced me to Marquette’s broadcast and electronic communications major, so I made the switch from pre-med. My parents were super supportive of the change, and that led to an internship in country radio at WMIL Milwaukee.
How did you get the radio job?
I had an internship with a news program that partnered with the radio stations for weather. I heard about an opening at the country station, joined the street team and turned that into a job for about two years.
What did you do there?
I worked with the morning show team, handled blog postings, edited clips and anything else that was needed. Radio doesn’t have a lot of resources, so it was a bit of everything.
Photo: Courtesy of Moore
I saw the trajectory—seeing radio tours, the younger artists’ excitement and wanting to be close to that. I loved radio, but after three years, I was ready for a change. Then the ACM came up in 2011.
And you got it! Tell me about joining ACM.
I moved out to Los Angeles and joined ACM as an assistant in Events & Operations, I was heavily involved in the physical parts of event production and some finance. Bob Romeo and Tiffany Moon were leading ACM at the time. Tiffany oversaw all of the Board, talent and some of ACM Lifting Lives and charity. My role evolved and I eventually handled Board and charitable activities. Outside of PR, I’ve touched on every department of the Academy in the last 13 years.

I became Secretary of the Board, and I just grew with that. About four years ago, I was promoted to create an Artist & Industry Relations department, which hadn’t previously existed. Since we were in L.A. at the time, it was to be the face of the Academy for talent. We wanted to ensure that we connected with the country community. Now I’m the Chief of Staff, Artist & Industry Relations, Board Administration & Governance.
How was the move to Nashville for you?
It’s been almost three years. Time flies. I loved L.A., but I was ready for a new chapter. I’d built a community in Nashville, so it felt like the perfect next step.
Photo: Courtesy of Moore
What’s your day-to-day like now?
A big priority of mine is supporting Damon [Whiteside], our CEO, with day-to-day management, HR policies and Board duties. It’s a mix of personnel, Board relations and administrative work.
You must be a people person for this role. How would you describe your management style?
I’m definitely not a micromanager, I believe in empowering staff. If you have the right people in the right spots, they’ll step up to meet demands. Kindness and respect are essential. If you treat people right, they want to work together.

What’s an experience that your younger self would find cool?
For a class in college, we had to create a Twitter account because it was a new social media platform. I remember live-tweeting the ACM Awards back in college and even tweeted at Katie Cook, who was covering it. It sounds dorky in hindsight, but it’s cool thinking about the award shows we’ve accomplished since then, like the 50th anniversary of the ACM Awards in 2015.
Outside of that, I also have gotten to work on the Academy Awards, the Grammys and a couple of Hollywood Bowl opening nights. I have a lot of meaningful memories that are fun to look back on.
The live television part of your job sounds so stressful. How do you manage your nerves for live shows?
It’s chaotic, we don’t sleep for a month. But you’re filled with adrenaline, and it’s so much fun. Some moments feel surreal, like being part of turning points in artists’ careers.

Any standout moments from past ACM Awards?
Most recently, Chris Stapleton and Dua Lipa‘s performance at the ACM Awards this year was so great, especially since it was the best-kept secret—which never happens. [Laughs] I also remember a “Salute The Troops” special a few years ago that was a benefit for ACM Lifting Lives. Carrie Underwood sang to a crowd of soldiers, and it was so emotional and touching. It felt good to be a part of something important.
I’m also really proud of the Academy’s work, especially with ACM Lifting Lives. Bringing philanthropy and entertainment together is really rewarding—making people happy while giving back is a great crossroads.
Photo: Courtesy of Moore
Who have been some of your mentors?
One of the coolest thing about my position is getting to work so closely with the Board, specifically our chairs. Past Board Chairs like Rod Essig, Gayle Holcomb, Ed Warm, Ebie McFarland and Chuck Aly have been very impactful.
What advice would you give to someone who is just starting out?
Say yes to everything. Be there, willing to help out. Sometimes [event organizers or internship bosses] don’t know they need help until there’s someone there to offer it.
My parents also taught me to show up, be kind and work hard. If you do that consistently, you’ll get where you’re going.

Musicians on Call and Wranglers hosted their annual “Concerts For Veterans Presented By Wrangler” yesterday (Nov. 11). Throughout the day, a bevy of country artists participated in bedside visits for hospitalized veterans and performed in a virtual concert experience.
Scotty Hasting visited veterans and caregivers at the Nashville VA Medical Center to perform songs at their bedside. An Army Veteran and Purple Heart recipient himself, Hasting made connections with the veterans through their shared love of music and experiences in the military. Musicians On Call Volunteer Charles Esten also spent time with the veterans, bringing smiles through classic country songs and hosting the nursing staff in a Wrangler trivia contest. Patients shared how hearing his voice and songs in the hallways of the VA made a difference during a challenging time.
Hasting also hosted a virtual concert for veterans to enjoy on Veterans Day and throughout the month. The concert featured performances made by the Grand Ole Opry and words of gratitude from artists like Esten, The Bellamy Brothers with Gene Watson, Chapel Hart, Mae Estes, Sara Evans, Taylor Hicks, Dustin Lynch, Scotty McCreery, Tigirlily Gold, Mark Wills, Army Veteran and current Army Reserve soldier Craig Morgan and more. Hasting closed out the show with a performance from his Grand Ole Opry debut. The concert is shared exclusively with VA hospitals through Musicians On Call’s virtual program.

“We make it a priority at Musicians On Call to perform for Veterans in all of the communities we serve. Both the patients and caregivers at these facilities have sacrificed more than we can imagine, and with our mission we know how deeply music resonates with all generations. So we are honored to use music as a way to thank our heroes on Veterans Day,” says Musicians On Call President & CEO Pete Griffin. “MOC’s volunteers have performed for over 100,000 Veterans through our programs, and with the help of this year’s devoted partners and all of the artists involved, we showed thousands more Veterans just how much they are appreciated every day.”
“Music has a unique way of connecting us, lifting us up and providing comfort – especially for those who have sacrificed so much for our country,” adds John Meagher, Vice President of Global Brand Marketing, Wrangler. “Wrangler is proud to continue our support of Musicians On Call, to spread moments of joy and gratitude and bring the healing power of music to the brave servicemen and women who have stood in service for our country.”
At the Murfreesboro VA Community Living Center in Murfreesboro, veterans and their loved ones enjoyed a special live writers round featuring MOC Volunteers Drew Dixon, Jenny Teator and Troubadour Blue. Following the group performance, the artists visited the bedsides of the Veterans in the long-term and memory care facility. Through an ongoing partnership with the Dementia Society of America, MOC uses its programs to raise awareness of the impact of music on people living with Dementia.

RECORDS Nashville/Columbia artist Ty Myers has signed an exclusive, global publishing deal with Universal Music Publishing Nashville.
An Austin native, Myers spent his childhood on his sixth-generation family cattle ranch. During his younger years, he spent an abundance of time listening to Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Bill Withers, Otis Redding, Chris Stapleton, George Strait and more, shaping his artistry. In 2023, he released his debut track “Tie That Binds,” amassing over 11 million Spotify streams. The follow up track, “Drinkin’ Alone,” outpaced Myer’s previous streams, collecting over 26 million Spotify streams.
More recently, Myers released “Ends Of The Earth” earlier than planned, after teasing the song on socials and gaining the immediate attention of fans. With the soulful progression and grungy electric guitar sound, the tune is already a fan favorite, racking up over 35,000 social posts before its official release.
“Roxy King’s and Missy Roberts’ belief in Ty is unwavering, and the moment he stepped into our building, the entire team could see why,” shares Troy Tomlinson, Chairman & CEO, UMPG Nashville. “Ty is a keen observer of the world and that is reflected, not only in his songwriting, but also in the way he carries himself on and off the stage. We are thrilled to join his journey.”
“I could not be more excited about signing with Universal Music Publishing,” adds Myers. “This team felt like home from the first meeting.”
Myers is represented by CAA for touring and managed by Narvel Blackstock at Starstruck Entertainment. Over the weekend, he finished his sold-out “Let Em Talk Tour.” He will wrap up 2024 with support slots for Cody Johnson and Flatland Cavalry in December.

Blake Shelton, Taylor Sheridan, More Unite For New CBS Singing Competition Series

CBS has ordered a new singing competition series, The Road (working title), for fall 2025. With Blake Shelton, Taylor Sheridan, Lee Metzger and David Glasser serving as Executive Producers, the docu-style show will follow a to-be-announced headlining superstar on their journey to discover the next big act.
Participants will join the established artist on tour and open for them in venues across the country. They compete to win over local fan bases in order to secure a spot in the next city and remain a part of the trek.
Produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and Glasser’s 101 Studios alongside Shelton and Metzger’s Lucky Horseshoe Productions, The Road aims to show viewers the internal workings of the music industry as well as what happens when top emerging performers pile into a tour bus and tackle a grueling schedule in pursuit of their dreams.
“I’m a big fan of Taylor’s incredible work, and I’m excited to team with him and my longtime collaborator, Lee, on The Road,” shares Shelton. “I know a thing or two about singing competitions, and what it’s like to chase a music dream and live life on tour. I’m looking forward to discovering new talent and giving them this platform.”
“There is a revolution taking place in country music. Building a platform with Blake for the next leaders of that revolution is an incredibly exciting venture,” says Sheridan. “No more shiny floors and studio audiences. This is where the rubber meets the road—literally. Get in the van, go to the next town and win the crowd. Do it enough, and you become the next leader. Simple as that.”
“Blake and I have been working together [for] a long time,” adds Metzger. “Now joining forces with Taylor and David is literally the kind of team you dream about to bring something of this scale to country music fans.”
“This project has been a true labor of love that Taylor, Blake, Lee and I have been talking about for some time now,” notes Glasser. “I can’t thank CBS enough for supporting us on this journey to bring an incredible project to audiences everywhere.”

Ben Folds Welcomes Holiday Season With First Christmas Album Release
/by Liza AndersonBen Folds. Photo: Shervin Lainez
Ben Folds has released his first-ever Christmas album, Sleigher, via New West Records.
The 10-track collection includes seven original songs, such as “We Could Have This (feat. Lindsey Kraft),” as well as renditions of Mel Torme and Robert Wells’ “The Christmas Song,” Burt Bacharach’s “The Bell That Couldn’t Jingle” and The Mills Brothers’ “You Don’t Have To Be A Santa Claus.” Produced by Folds and recorded by Joe Costa in Nashville and Los Angeles, Sleigher aims to examine the passage of time through the lens of Christmas, reflecting on memory, loss and longing, while exploring the ways in which the holiday season marks chapters of our lives.
“Christmas is constant,” says Folds. “Allowing you to take stock of what’s different, to understand who you are and all the ways you’ve grown and changed.”
He continues, “There’s something about Christmas that really pushes you to ask, ‘Who am I now? How did I get here?’ You can look back on Christmases from your childhood and see the progression, or you can zoom out and look back at Christmas songs from the ‘30s and ‘40s and ‘50s and see we’ve evolved socially and culturally. Having that consistent framework is really illuminating. I love those holiday classics that are totally broad and timeless, but I’ve only ever been able to be myself, and I realized the most generous thing I could do with this album was write the best songs I could, no matter where that took me. Anything else just wouldn’t ring true.”
Folds is currently on his “Paper Airplane Request Tour.” During each performance, the audience is encouraged to send song requests to the stage via paper airplanes. He will stop in Brooklyn, New York tomorrow (Nov. 12), before making his way to Morristown, New Jersey on Wednesday (Nov. 13) and York, Pennsylvania on Friday (Nov. 15).
Sleigher Track Listing:
1. “Little Drummer Bolero”
2. “Sleepwalking Through Christmas”
3. “Me and Maurice”
4. “Christmas Time Rhyme”
5. “Waiting for Snow”
6. “We Could Have This (feat. Lindsey Kraft)”
7. “The Christmas Song”
8. “The Bell That Couldn’t Jingle”
9. “Xmas Aye Eye”
10. “You Don’t Have To Be A Santa Claus”
