Testimonials from BMI Customers:
“CSRA and my colleagues at 40 other state Restaurant Associations around the country have been very pleased with the strong relationship BMI has developed with our industry. BMI has shown that it is committed to providing quality service and a mutual benefit for their Association partners, our members, as well as the BMI-affiliated songwriters and publishers.”

“As the owner of a small venue that relies on music for its existence, I certainly understand that paying BMI isn’t something a lot of my colleagues look forward to doing. But at the same time, I know just how important music is to my club and am thankful for BMI’s commitment to support and develop original songwriters.”
