YOUNG: MICHEL BOURQUARD Backbird is estabishing its own niche, too, in the ive space, creating specia-event concerts, seing broadcast rights and marketing the shows as ive CD/DVDs. It s a big ro of the creative dice. For exampe, the company put Bridgestone Arena on hod for the Haggard show before the grieving Theresa Haggard was abe to give her approva. The gambe paid off in a ate furry of bookings after she consented, and at east four broadcast companies expressed interest in teevising the resuting specia. To date, no dea has been announced. What I do is certainy not for the faint of heart, says Wortman about securing the acts. There s tons of moving parts. On the financia side of things, it s not the typica standard fee an artist might get for a concert of course, they re not doing a fu concert; they re doing a song or two. But we cover a the artists expenses, which often can be very significant if you re the kind of artist that has private jets and things ike that, and aso a artists participate on a royaty basis in the reease of everything from the show. Putting this many peope together is insane, and it s hard to understand the rationae, says Seth Avett of The Avett Brothers, who were the house band for the Garcia tribute. But for us, [Backbird] reay gave us an opportunity, and they pushed us. Are they going to make any money? I don t know, but [the attitude is], Let s do this, cause it s going to be great to do together. Wortman aunched Backbird Presents in 2012 in partnership with musician-producer Don Was (Bonnie Raitt, The Roing Stones), naming it after The Beates song Backbird and casting an eye toward bow-out tributes. The primary focus and the primary interest was reay this abor of ove of creating these once-in-a-ifetime, arge-scae concert events ceebrating my music heroes, and doing so by bringing out a who s who of incredibe artists and performers, says Wortman. Last year, the company stepped out beyond one-off productions for the first time, turning a 2016 ceebration of The Band s fina concert, The Last Watz, into an 18-city tour for the 40th anniversary of the origina show. Tours are now joining the one-time concerts as the second tentpoe of the company s business mode, with yet another product ine on the way. The third part of our business is our heavy move into episodic TV series and feature documentaries, a at the cross-section of music and storyteing, says Wortman. So it s an exciting time for the company across the board. To date, Backbird Presents has been fairy ow profie. The average consumer woudn t know that the firm that paced a Jennings specia on CMT, the Harris piece on PBS and the Stapes tribute on AXS were one and the same. But then again, outaws are typicay most successfu when they work under a certain amount of cover. I ove the Backbird peope, says Shery Crow, who performed on the Haggard tribute and wi pay a 10 of the Outaw Festiva dates. They put together a great show, so much so that I don t even notice them. You don t want to be thinking about production or anything ese, and they set the tone for that. So good on them, [because] the highest compiment I can give is that I don t notice them.

15 BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE JUNE 26, 2017 PAGE 15 OF 21 MAKIN TRACKS TOM ROLAND Newcomer Jordan Davis Finds Unique Catchphrase In Singes Bar Most country fans have never heard of Jordan Davis. The Shreveport, La., native is hoping to change that with a catchy debut singe that uses an exposive chorus, strong rhythms and a tite those isteners have ikewise never heard before: Singes You Up. It is, to anyone who sees the tite in print without hearing the song, a head scratcher. To anyone who istens to it before reading it, it makes perfect sense. When I first heard the phrase I thought it was funny, co-writer Steven Dae Jones ( One More Day, He Gets That From Me ) says. I d never heard that before. Neither had Davis or co-writer Justin Ebach ( Seep Without You, When I Pray for You ), but it came tumbing out of a conversation during a writing session at Ebach s office, at Word Entertainment in Nashvie, in the ate spring or eary summer of Ebach had gotten engaged to Word Country creative director Janine Appeton in February, and it was the first time Davis had seen him. Congratuations were in order, and as they chatted about Ebach s commitment, one of the three writers quipped that he was smart not to singe her up. I d never heard it said ike that, recas Davis. I remember saying, Man, shoud we write that? It sounded so natura, in fact, that Jones thought it might be some urban sang that he had simpy missed. You put it in context, and it s ike, Oh, DAVIS that makes perfect sense, not ike you have to expain, notes Ebach. Maybe we start a trend. For the time being, they needed to start the song. Ebach aready had a thread of a musica idea going, and they kicked off at the chorus, trying to guarantee the song was recognizabe, even in sma chunks. If they re going to sampe the chorus for a review or something, then the chorus needs to be abe to stand aone, [even without] a verse to support it, says Jones. Most peope, if they re going to hum aong to their favorite song, they re going to hum the chorus. Initiay, they worked with the hook exacty as it had emerged in conversation, singe her up, though it proved rather awkward. It was a itte weird to write the song to another dude, says Ebach. So they fipped the storyine, with the singer confessing his interest to a femae friend who has aready paired up with someone: If he ever singes you up They were abe to fashion that into the centerpiece for an exposive chorus, whie the pot for the subdued verses became much easier. They set the conversation in a bar with the singer taking to the woman about her boyfriend, who seems to see her more as arm candy than as a sou mate. The singer is just a country dude, and the other guy is probaby a frat boy with a sweater over his shouders, says Jones. That s kind of how I ooked at that guy. That current boyfriend is attempting to change the woman pushing her to drink wine instead of whiskey, attempting to give her a more urbane appearance but when her favorite song starts paying, the boyfriend is totay disconnected. Because it s an obvious mismatch, the singer conveys his interest in being her next boyfriend with a dose of humiity on the pre-chorus: Sorry if I m overstepping boundaries, I don t mean to be We didn t want it to be a cheating song, and we didn t want him to come off as a jerk, says Davis. We wanted to ceary estabish that it was a guy that was just a friend. Once it was competed, Davis deivered a voca that Ebach coud use to buid a demo, which he fashioned in a few hours. But he decided not to send it. I fet ike something was sti missing, so I went home, remembers Ebach. I went back the next morning and was ike, Oh, it needs gang vocas; it needs a background part. Ebach overdubbed backing voices that were neary shouted to key chorus ines singes you up, stupid enough then mixed them and sent them to his co-writers. Now the song is not the same without that, says Ebach. Universa Music Group Nashvie had announced Davis signing on Leap Day 2016, and he had previousy been paired up with a producer and recorded some tracks, but he and the team had agreed they weren t the right direction for him. UMGN singed Davis up, as it were, in his recording partnership, and Singes You Up arrived whie he was between producers. In the meantime, Davis began writing with Boys Like Girs guitarist Pau DiGiovanni, who co-wrote Dan + Shay s How Not To. They hit it off so we that Davis obbied for him to produce the next round of tracks, and Singes You Up was one of the first four songs they tacked in an October 2016 session at Sound Stage. Though no one said it out oud, DiGiovanni sensed that it was a ikey first singe, and he purposey kept the fina product in the same ane as the demo. If something s perfect, don t mess with it, he reasons. If peope ove the demo and they want that to be the first singe, there s a reason for it. DiGiovanni foowed that bueprint as he cut a new mix of programmed percussion and ive instruments (he s paying the thumping acoustic guitar chords at the outset) and brought that set of tracks to a crack session crew: bass payer Tony Lucido, drummer Nir Z, eectric guitarist Derek Wes and acoustic payer Bryan Sutton. They found their pace in the mix, and DiGiovanni muted the prerecorded eements that proved out of pace with the band. I woud turn around and ook at Jordan, he d be ooking at me, and we woud just start aughing, because it was perfect, says DiGiovanni. Background singer Austin Jenckes joined Davis and DiGiovanni at DiGiovanni s home studio to create a more eaborate version of Ebach s gang vocas, and the end resut bends Davis mutipe infuences. The songwriting side that I pu wants to hear that acoustic [guitar], and the Kings of Leon fan in me wants to hear the big eectric oud drums, says Davis. He had some fears about how Singes You Up might transate as a fuy acoustic number when he aunched his radio promotion tour, but it got such a strong response that MCA singed it up on May 22, reeasing it through PayMPE. It ranked among the top five New and Active tracks the week of June 19. The song tite and the artist might be new, but Ebach, for one, is convinced it s just a matter of time before everyone knows who Davis is. Jordan Davis is a freaking star, says Ebach. You meet him one time, and you re ike, This dude is going to be huge. ERIC RYAN ANDERSON

16 BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE JUNE 26, 2017 PAGE 16 OF 21 THE STARK REPORT PHYLLIS STARK Cheers, Tears And Laughs: The Country Radio Ha Induction Country radio was simutaneousy toasted and roasted during the June 21 Country Radio Ha of Fame ceremony. The ceebration, hed at the Marriott Nashvie hote, wecomed seven new members (two posthumousy) and aso honored artist Martina McBride and Universa Music Nashvie (UMG) chairman/ceo Mike Dungan, the atter for his service to the trade group Country Radio Broadcasters (CRB) as a ongtime board member. McBride genty chided radio during her Career Achievement Award acceptance speech. You didn t aways make it easy, she tod the broadcasters present. Some peope trace their emotiona dysfunction back to their famiies. I trace mine back to country radio. Dungan, who received the President s Award, aso got in a gente dig. I want to thank everyone in radio we, amost everyone in radio, for being terrific partners, he said to aughter in the room. But he added that radio is sti the pace to discover and earn about country music. McBride aso worked in a sincere thank-you to the format. I aways wanted to have songs on the radio, and I wanted to have songs that mattered, she tod the audience. You guys aowed me to do both. Dungan was the first major-abe head to agree to serve on the CRB board, a decision he candidy expained in his speech. Seventeen years ago, I took over one of the most dysfunctiona abes that ever existed, he said, referencing Capito Records Nashvie. At the time, he said, the abe, had terribe reationships with every sector of the industry, so he accepted the board position in an utimatey successfu attempt to change that. In addition to the Ha of Fame ceremony, CRB organizes the annua Country Radio Seminar, an event Dungan caed the singe greatest thing we have going as an industry. It s that thing that keeps us from faing into our individua traps, he said. We come together for four days and reaize in country music, a boats rise with the tide. He aso thanked the artists he works with at UMG for aowing him time away from his day job to serve the industry on the CRB board. Despite intermittent power outages during the night, some of the stars of country radio sti shone onstage when they were inducted into the Ha of McBride (eft) and industry veteran Joe Gaante Fame. Inductee Charie Ochs, currenty station manager of WHFS Tampa, Fa., summed up the sentiment in the room during his acceptance speech. Radio paints pictures, he said. But with the hep of the artists who write and record the songs, country music radio stations get to paint masterpieces. Kid Rock made a surprise appearance to honor ongtime WYCD Detroit personaity Linda Lee, who succumbed to cancer on March 31. Lee s boss, CBS Radio vp country programming Tim Roberts, said she had a shrine to Rock in her home, whie Lee s daughter admitted that her ate mom had a sight obsession with Kid Rock. But that affection was ceary reciproca. Rock said he was proud to be here to testify to not just what a great radio person she was, but what a great person she was. He praised the conversationa interview stye that Lee used in a time when some broadcasters practice a gotcha stye of journaism, goading ceebrities into saying something controversia so they can promote it on their websites. Longtime WGAR Ceveand morning man Jim Mante (now at WRNS Greenvie, N.C.) drew gasps and aughs when he described a promotion he was invoved in during radio s more freewheeing days.
