What a beautiful Monday. 80 degrees and almost no humidity!
(Shameless plug alert)
Despite the amazing weather, "Caught In A Storm" hits country radio stations and iTunes TODAY!! :) Call in and request, "Chase Likens' new single, Caught In A Storm"!
I'm not subbing today and I don't start teaching at School Of Rock until 4:15pm so I figured I'd take advantage of the time to do some decent networking. I did a bit of research this morning and stumbled across a publishing company I was not aware of. I found Zavitson Music Group (ZMG) owned and operated by president, Russ Zavitson. The publishing company has a stable of great writers and has had recent cuts by Thompson Square, Rodney Atkins, Chris Young, Dierks Bentley and Reba McEntire. Today, I reached out to the VP of Creative, Eric Hurt. I was especially interested in the company when I read that ZMG is expanding into TV/Film, Pop and Rock markets. Eric is the talented individual responsible for heading up this expansion. Needless to say, he's someone I personally would love to connect with.

Hello August. I can't remembered what I Googled, but I came across your blog. I haven't read all of the post, but the ones I have read are very interesting. You are a hustler to the 10th degree and very inspiring. I am doing my best to break into the songwriting industry as well and it's hard to get the attention of people in the industry. Keep on going. I can't wait to hear about you! Oh..I watched "A Daughter's Nightmare" this past weekend.
