BMI Sends Nashville's Songwriters South, Launches New Series at Sunseeker

BMI, the performing rights organization long rooted in Music Row's daily business, has taken its songwriter showcase tradition out of town. The organization launched its first Sunseeker Resort Songwriter Series at Sunseeker Resort in Florida, extending a format built in Nashville writers' rooms to a new stage. For a town that treats its songwriters as the real engine behind the hits, seeing that talent showcased beyond the city limits is its own kind of hometown news.
