BMI Nashville Hosts Press Lunch for Top BMI Live Earner Granger Smith

BMI singer/songwriter Granger Smith performed three songs off his new album “Dirt Road Driveway” and answered questions from local and national press about being a top earner in the BMI Live program on Tuesday, March 26 in Nashville. The recently upgraded program now makes it easier for BMI performing songwriters who play their music in any size venue to be paid for those performances, and Smith, who played close to 200 tour dates last year and will release his ninth album April 16, is an avid supporter of BMI and a top earner of the BMI Live service. BMI’s Senior Director Writer Publisher Relations Mark Mason introduced Smith as a songwriter who made the BMI Live program work for him by utilizing one of the many products offered by BMI. The technical upgrades to BMI Live provide cutting-edge services to BMI songwriters and publishers and in addition to the functionality of this program, BMI has also made technical upgrades to BMI Mobile, which now enable BMI members to more quickly and easily access and manage their BMI related business needs on an iPhone, iPad or Android mobile device.
