BMI Partners With Gigmor and New York State Brewers Association to Present “Taste of Nashville” Tour

Posted in News on July 20, 2022

BMI is partnering with Gigmor and the New York State Brewers Association (NYSBA) to bring the “Taste of Nashville” Tour to breweries across upstate New York. Hitting cities from Clifton Park to Hamilton and everywhere in between, the tour kicks off on Tuesday, August 23 and wraps up on Saturday, August 27. Showcasing two of BMI’s top Nashville songwriters, these concerts are free and open to the public.

Each night will feature performances from BMI songwriters Clint Daniels and Tim James who will bring a taste of Nashville’s Bluebird Café “Songwriter-in-the Round” tradition to the north. The songwriters, who have penned hits for Nashville heavyweights Trace Adkins, Eric Church, Toby Keith, and many more, will give concertgoers a unique opportunity to hear the stories behind some of country music’s biggest hits straight from the writers themselves.

“BMI is thrilled to partner with Gigmor and the NYSBA to bring some of our songwriters to breweries across upstate New York,” said Dan Spears, VP, Industry Relations, BMI. “This tour will highlight the value that music brings to establishments across the country, and in my eyes, it doesn’t get much better than listening to live music on a summer night with a cold brew in hand.”

“Both breweries and music are synonymous with bringing people together,” said Paul Leone, Executive Director, NYSBA. “By partnering with BMI, we’re showcasing two amazing songwriters at some of New York’s top breweries, and with Gigmor, we’re introducing an easy and cost-effective way to book musical performances. We’re looking forward to five nights of great music, cold beer and good times.”
