Read Universal Music Publishing CEO Jody Gerson’s Speech Accepting the Industry Icon Award at Clive Davis’ Pre-Grammy Event

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Jody Gerson is one of the most accomplished music publishers of the last five decades, so it’s no surprise that she was honored with the Recording Academy’s Industry Icon Award at Clive Davis’ Pre-Grammy Event on Saturday night. What is sadly surprising is the fact that as CEO of Universal Music Publishing, she is one of the very few female heads of a major music companies — a number that has been shrinking, rather than rising, in recent years. Gerson took the helm of Universal Music Publishing in 2015, after rising through the ranks at Chappell Music, EMI and Sony Music Publishing, and the company has gone from strength to strength since she took charge.

Gerry Cinnamon airs new song ‘Sacred’ and sees shoes fly at Reading 2024 headline set

Gerry Cinnamon aired a new song and played a boisterous set as he headlined the opening night of Reading 2024.Taking to the main stage for his headline set before Blink-182 closed the opening Friday (August 23), the Scottish singer-songwriter came out to tunes by the likes of ABBA and Neil Diamond before tearing into a career-spanning show backed by the visuals of a retro TV showing 1970s imagery.Towards the end of the set, he performed ‘Sacred’ – a tender ballad that he said “hasn’t been recorded yet”, dealing with the notion of selling out as he pined, “Nothing’s sacred any more, and your so-called hero’s only in it for the dough“.Footage of tonight’s performance hasn’t surfaced yet, and Cinnamon’s set wasn’t streamed on iPlayer, but he’s been playing the track at recent shows. See footage from Hampden Park below.Other highlights of the set came with a rowdy outing of fan favourite ‘Belter’, and the sing-along of “shoe la la la” from ‘Fortune Favours the Bold’, which saw fans throwing their shoes into the sky.

SZA, Steely Dan, R.E.M., Trey Anastasio, Carrie Underwood and Many More Light up 2024 Songwriters Hall of Fame Ceremony

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music The Songwriters Hall of Fame, which staged its annual awards ceremony on Thursday night, is an institution and an event unlike any other in the music industry, even though many of its elements are hardly unique and many things about it have barely changed over decades, and possibly since it launched in 1969. Indeed, we say many of the same things about the ceremony in an article very similar to this one every year — it’s a combination of an awards show, a family reunion and a trade event that is invite-only yet features a mind-blowing array of Grammy-level, once-in-a-lifetime performances and tributes, always held at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York’s Times Square.

How long was Reba McEntire’s Super Bowl 2024 national anthem?

waaaaaaave?Reba McEntire’s rendition of the national anthem clocked in at 95 seconds (1:35) Sunday night at the 2024 Super Bowl.That was a middle-of-the-pack length, historically. Renditions of “The Star-Spangled Banner” here have ranged from as little as 62 seconds to more than two and a half minutes.The 68-year-old country music and TV star told Apple Music that, in the lead-up, she typically practiced for the big night in the morning while showering.“I’ve been singing the national anthem in the shower [and] when we get in the car,” she said, referring to boyfriend Rex Linn.“He’ll say, ‘OK, sing it one more time.’ I said, ‘I think I know the words real good right now, so I’m all right.’”The longest-ever Super Bowl “Star Spangled Banner” came in 2013, when “Girl on Fire” singer Alicia Keys performed a version at the piano that lasted 156 seconds (2:36). And the quickest — short and sweet — was sung by “Sweet Caroline” crooner Neil Diamond.
