Luke Bryan To Co-Host A Salute To Songwriters, Presented By BMI
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Local radio broadcasters Cox Media Group (CMG), Alpha Media, Beasley Media Group, Hubbard Radio, Neuhoff Media and Townsquare Media announced today that they will join BMI and some of country music's top songwriters for a radio concert to benefit the MusiCares COVID-19 Relief fund. "A Salute to the Songwriters," presented by BMI, will feature country music superstar Luke Bryan as a special guest co-host alongside several local DJs throughout the event airing nationwide on Saturday, May 16, 2020 at 7PM local time. Proceeds will go directly to the special MusiCares fund created by BMI, ASCAP and SESAC to support songwriters affected by the pandemic.

The commercial-free three-hour concert will be broadcast on more than 100 country stations across all six broadcast groups and will feature some of the songwriters behind country music's biggest hits straight from their living rooms and home studios. The line-up includes Dallas Davidson and Rhett Akins, Jon Randall and Jessi Alexander, Luke Dick and Jeff Hyde, Brandon Kinney and Clint Daniels, Barry Dean and Natalie Hemby as well as Dylan Altman and Wynn Varble. These acclaimed music creators will take audiences behind the scenes and into the writing rooms with stories of how their hit songs were created. In addition, the show will spotlight several songwriters on the rise as they discuss how this difficult time has directly affected them and their livelihoods.

"We're proud to partner with the country's leading local radio groups to support the songwriters whose music brings us together in good times and in bad," said Mike O'Neill, President & CEO, BMI. "Songwriters are often considered the smallest of small businesses, and like so many small businesses, they are deeply impacted by this pandemic. We're so grateful that some of BMI's top country music creators are lending their voices to support this incredibly important cause.

BMI songwriter and current judge on ABC's American Idol, Luke Bryan will share hosting duties with Christi Brooks (93Q, Houston, TX), Fitz (98-9, The Bull - Seattle, WA), Jeff K (102.7 Coyote Country - Las Vegas, NV), Brian & Crissy (WGNA - Albany, NY), and Josh Roberts (104.5 WFMB - Springfield, IL).

"Like so many others, songwriters have been deeply impacted by COVID-19 and the temporary closure of bars, restaurants and live music venues." said Tim Clarke, VP of Content and Audience for Cox Media Group. "Broadcasters have outstanding relationships with this community, and we are honored to join together in creating this special to celebrate and support these talented individuals who are the heart of country music."
