Nashville’s Tin Pan South Songwriters Festival has postponed its 2020 incarnation following the destructive tornado that hit town earlier in the week and amid rising concerns over the spread of coronavirus, which was recently confirmed in a Tennessee resident. The annual celebration of songwriting talent from Music City and beyond was set for March 23rd to 28th and will now look to reschedule events for summer.

Nashville songwriters turned out in force on Wednesday afternoon to escalate the fight against four music-streaming services on royalty rates. Earlier this year, Spotify, Amazon, Google and SiriusXM/Pandora announced they would appeal a 2018 ruling from the Copyright Royalty Board — the government body that sets royalty rates for statutory licenses — that would see publishers’ and songwriters’ cuts of revenue rise by 44% over the next five years. The four services have disputed the decision and asked for a lower rate increase, rankling the songwriting community, which is especially taking issue with Spotify’s involvement.

It’s so far been smooth sailing for the Music Modernization Act (Mma), which in June was approved unanimously by the Senate Judiciary Committee following its passage, also by unanimous vote, in the House of Representatives in May. The legislation aims to improve royalty payments to songwriters, artists and creatives in the digital era. Its next and final step before heading to President Trump for signature is a full Senate vote to consider the act.
But on July 17, private equity firm Blackstone, which purchased performance rights organization Sesac in January 2017, submitted a proposal that Mma proponents say would “doom” the legislation by “upsetting the fundamental structure of the bill to benefit its private company at the expense of the entire music industry.”
At the heart of the issue for Blackstone is the nearly 100-year-old Harry Fox Agency (Hfa), the rights management and collection entity which was bought by Sesac in 2015 for a reported $20 million.
