NASHVILLE, Nov. 11, 2019 - With a

and Publishers (ASCAP) Country Music Awards celebrated the
industry’sbiggest

of the past year were honored before an invitation-only audience of notable
Nashville songwriters, top country artists and music industry leaders. The 2019 ASCAP Country Music Awards – Recap
Hitmaker Ashley
Gorley cemented his place among country music’s greats,
taking home the ASCAP Country Music Songwriter of the Year Award for an
extraordinary seventh time in his career for seven chart-topping songs (“Life
Changes,” “Eyes on You,” “Love Ain’t,” “What Makes You Country,” “I Lived It,”
“Rumor,” “Hide the Wine”). Continuing his record-setting streak, he remains the
only ASCAP songwriter to achieve this feat in the country music genre. ASCAP Chief Executive Officer Elizabeth

“Living.”

In a surprise appearance, CMA Awards host Carrie Underwood performed
a stunning rendition of “Promises” and Garth Brooks delivered a heartfelt
performance of “Forever and Ever, Amen” in tribute to country icon and ASCAP
Founders Award recipient Randy
Travis. A Grand Ole Opry member and Country Music Hall of
Fame inductee, Travis’s devotion to classic country sounds took him to the
pinnacle of country music fame. In recognition of Travis’s storied career,
Brooks and Underwood joined ASCAP
Chairman of the Board and President Paul Williams to
present the revered artist with his award. This will
join the top shelf of Travis’ award room alongside a Country Music Hall of Fame
plaque, a Grand Ole Opry member trophy, seven GRAMMY Awards, 11 ACM statuettes,
five CMA honors, 10 American Music Awards, two People’s Choice awards, eight
Dove Awards and many more honors.
“This man saved
country music single handedly.... I wouldn’t be standing here if it
weren’t for Randy Travis," said Garth Brooks as he welcomed Randy to
the stage. “Your music became a symphony to the lives of millions,” Mary
Travis said to her husband. “The songs that you left us before your stroke
six-and-a-half years ago will remain the soundtrack of our lives Forever and
Ever, Amen.”
These awards celebrate the songwriters and publishers of ASCAP’s
most-performed country songs. Travis joins the ranks of Rodney
Crowell, George Strait, Alan Jackson, Ricky Skaggs, Jackson Brown, Garth
Brooks, Emmylou Harris, Tom Petty and Neil Young, among others, as
a Founders Award recipient. This particular award is one of ASCAP’s highest
honors, which is presented to songwriters and composers who have made
significant contributions to music and inspire and influence the music
community.
Acclaimed songwriter Hillary
Lindsey received the ASCAP Global Impact Award in
recognition of the enduring worldwide impact of her powerful and prolific
repertoire. The two-time Grammy Award winner has penned songs recorded by Taylor
Swift, Keith Urban, Jon Bon Jovi, Florida Georgia Line, Kacey Musgraves, Luke
Bryan and countless others. With 22 #1 hits, from Carrie Underwood’s “Jesus
Take the Wheel” to Lady Gaga’s “Million Reasons,” her compelling storytelling
continues to captivate audiences. Special guest presenter Kelsea Ballerini and ASCAP Vice President of Nashville
Membership Mike Sistad awarded Lindsey with the
prestigious honor. In celebration of this career milestone, Little Big Town performed
her Grammy-winning song “Girl Crush.” Previous ASCAP Global Impact Award
Winners include Lana
Del Rey and Jessi
Alexander (for "The Climb").
As previously announced, Brothers Osborne took home the ASCAP Vanguard
Award for their fresh take on the modern country duo. The reigning CMA Vocal
Duo of the Year just wrapped a set of tour dates with Chris Stapleton and
released Live at The
Ryman in October. Special guest presenters Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen (also
an ASCAP member) added a touch of Hollywood to the festivities as they
presented to the brothers.
After a chart-topping year that saw their latest album debut at #1
on Billboard’s
Top Country Albums chart, Old Dominion’s Matthew Ramsey and Trevor Rosen were
named ASCAP Country Music Songwriter-Artists of the Year. ASCAP EVP of Membership John Titta and
2018 honoree Brett
Young presented the award to the pair for their
collaboration on the hit songs “Hotel Key,” “One That Got Away” and “Make It
Sweet.”
A well-known pop and R&B writer who has worked with major
artists from Madonna to Justin Bieber, Steven Battey won ASCAP Country Music
Song of the Year for his first country hit, Luke Combs’s “One Number Away.”
Battey then took the stage to serenade the audience with a moving version of
the #1 song.
ASCAP’s Matthews presented the ASCAP Country Music Publisher of
the Year Award to Warner
Chappell Music Nashville President and Chief Executive
Officer Ben Vaughn and Chief Operating Officer Carianne Marshall. Earning the
award for the seventh consecutive time, Warner Chappell Music published some of
the most-performed ASCAP country songs of the past year including “Tequila,”
“You Make It Easy” and “Hotel Key.”
Dan + Shay’s Dan
Smyers and Shay
Mooney and singer-songwriter Jordan Reynolds opened
the show with a performance of their hit song “Tequila,” one of ASCAP's top
country songs of the year.

COUNTRY AIRCHECK REPORT: SESAC Nashville Music Awards at
the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum struck a balance between celebratory and
relaxed in a compact 90-minute program. As winners made their way to the front
of the room to enjoy the ceremony from large, leather couches, other writers, artists,
publishers and industry pros filled tables and high top seating while enjoying
wine and cocktails.
BMG’s
Blanco Brown kicked off with his take on the Sam Cooke classic “A
Change Is Gonna Come” before insisting everyone
“Git Up” as he performed “The Git Up,” during which Stoney
Creek’s King Calaway lived their best lives while dancing along
in the crowd.
SESAC
Chairman/CEO John Josephson took to the podium to fete outgoing
VP/Creative Service Shannan Hatch, who served as the
evening’s host. Soon joining newly launched Fourward Music as President, Hatch
received a standing ovation
and garnered multiple statements of praise throughout the night, to which she once
emotionally and eloquently responded, “Well, shit!”
Hatch
honoured recipients of Americana Awards, including Rosanne Cash’s
“Not Many Miles To Go,” The Avett Brothers’ “High
Steppin’” and Hayes Carll’s “None’ya” and “Times
