"As we approach the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are excited about the return of inperson songwriting sessions, writers' rounds, and live performances, and know our winners and nominees will continue to create amazing music to soundtrack the hopefully joyous year ahead."

"Congratulations to all the independent publishers and songwriters who won or were nominated for AIMP Nashville Awards this year!" said John Ozier, AIMP National Chair and President of the AIMP Nashville Chapter.

The MusicRow Weekly

MusicRow Parent Company Launches New Sports Publication

Music Row Enterprises, LLC, the parent company of MusicRow magazine is launching a new Nashville sports industry trade publication, The Sports Credential. MusicRow Publisher/Owner Sherod Robertson says, "Last year I asked myself, `What if there was a MusicRowtype trade publication for the exploding Nashville sports industry?' and that idea proved to be one I could never shake off." Robertson adds, "After a lot of hard work and planning the last few months, I am pumped to have our new sister publication, The Sports Credential, come to fruition. I personally know that I want to be part of the growing Nashville sports industry and I think many others do to. It's a natural fit for us because we can use our incredibly successful MusicRow model and apply it to the sports industry here in Nashville and do so successfully. We've added great talent to our team who will be laser focused on this venture and my excitement is honestly, hard to contain. Come join The Sports Credential. It's going to be a fun ride!" With sports being a dynamic and growing industry, The Sports Credential serves as a helpful resource, the kind of publication that focuses on the sports industry and its decision makers, in order to connect and inform those of who want to be `in the know' and on the front row as Nashville inevitably becomes a national sports hub. Whether it's Darius Rucker joining the effort to bring Major League Baseball to Nashville, Scott Borchetta's Big Machine becoming title sponsor for IndyCar Music City Grand Prix, or the Nashville Sounds affiliating with Milwaukee Brewers, there's no doubt Nashville's explosive growth in sports is just beginning. Since The Sports Credential is a separate publication from MusicRow, those wishing to receive information and news will need to sign up directly to receive its FREE weekly and breaking news emails. Click here to sign up. The new publication's website and social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) are live now. MR

NO. 1 SONG

"Forever After All" by Luke Combs remains the No. 1 single on the MusicRow CountryBreakout Radio Chart for its second consecutive week. The single was penned by Combs, Drew Parker, and Robert Williford. It appears on Combs' deluxe album, What You See Ain't Always What You Get. Comb's teamed with bluegrass star Billy Strings for his latest release called "The Great Divide." Combs shares, "Something that I've always wanted to do is write and put out a bluegrass album. This is a song that was supposed to be a part of that project. It's not a lead single or a lead-in to that project yet, because that is not done. But it felt like the right time to put this song out. When we wrote it, there were a lot of crazy things going on in the world. There's still a lot of crazy things going on in the world. And I just felt like I had some stuff to say. It's not meant to be political. It's not meant to try and tell you what to think or tell you how to believe. That's not my job. It's just a guy kinda saying the way he was feeling when he wrote it."
