>>>CMA’s Songwriter Series recently repeated its sellout ways when the traveling show returned to Joe’s Pub in New York City on June 21 and 22.

Host Bob DiPiero and songwriters Carson Chamberlain and Mark D. Sanders performed on both shows. Easton Corbin was the featured artist on June 21 and Clay Walker was the featured artist on June 22.

>>>Big Machine Label Group has added Brittney McKenna as Marketing Coordinator. Her responsibilities will include tracking record sales, developing social media strategies and serving as the support for the Sales, Marketing and interactive department. McKenna arrives at BMLG after graduating from Belmont’s Honors Program where she gained experience with five internships. Most recently she served as in-house publicist at MAC Presents for a year and a half under the leadership of Marcie Allen. “We’re excited to have Brittney join the BMLG team,” says Kelly Rich, BMLG VP Sales, Marketing & Interactive. “Her extensive background working in the music and journalism industries give her a unique approach to furthering the goals of our department.”

>>>If it works the first time then create sequel. These words of wisdom have been taken to heart by Producer David Harvey and a stellar cast of musicians to release Moody Bluegrass Two…much love. Following 2004’s critically and commercially acclaimed tribute to the legendary Moody Blues, the GRAMMY nominated Moody Bluegrass, along with the highly successful Moody Bluegrass Live, this set once again features the talents of  Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, Sam Bush, Tim O’Brien, Harley Allen, Peter Rowan, Jan Harvey, Ronnie Bowman, Emma Harvey, Larry Cordle, John Cowan, Jon Randall, David Harvey, Tim May, Andy Hall and Andy Todd.
