BMI helped provide a little sizzle to the 2018 National Association of Broadcasters’ State Leadership Conference held recently (2/27) in Washington D.C. by sponsoring a dynamic performance by Jacob Needham and the Blue Trees, a southern Americana-groove rock band out of Nashville. The Alabama natives recently signed to Spectra Music Group and will be releasing their debut album in April.

The annual gathering of radio and TV executives, along with state broadcaster association heads, is designed to update the group on legislative issues on Capitol Hill that could affect their businesses. Following a day of informational sessions conducted by NAB staff members, the broadcasters take to the Hill to educate their congressmen and senators on proposed bills that could impact radio and TV.
