It was the second of four Thursday-night appearances for Barnett in a one-month residency, and that bit of normacy do your job, return to your own house is one of the perks of that arrangement. Going out on the road is tiresome, says Barnett. The trave i n g, a n d being in hote rooms, and having to ride in the car, get on WORSHAM SCHLAPMAN a pane it j u s t wea r s you out. I fee ike doing that is fun, but there s something great about being abe to stay home. An increasing number of Music City acts are foowing that path, paying residencies of varying engths in their hometown. Charie Worsham is in the midde of a five-week run, Every Damn Monday, at Basement East that concudes Juy 31; The Time Jumpers, reguars at 3rd & Lindsey, mark their 20th anniversary of weeky Monday-night shows next year; and Litte Big Town deivers the third batch of concerts in its intermittent 10-show residency at the Ryman Auditorium Juy Everything about it is wonderfu, says group member Kimbery Schapman. The crew oves that they get to set up a our stage gear on a fixed stage for three days. Aso, the backstage area becomes so homey and comfortabe because we re set up there. It aready has such charm. The fact we get to make it our home for more than one night at a time fees super good. But there BARNETT are other reasons to do mutipe engagements down the road from your house. Community is a big one. A the residencies have featured surprise guests: Chares Keey and Wheeer Waker Jr. at Worsham s shows, Reba McEntire and Joe Wash at The Time Jumpers, Country Music Ha of Fame member Charie McCoy and budding singer- songwriter Sam Hunter at Barnett s and Luke Bryan and Chris Stapeton at LBT s.

2 BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE JULY 24, 2017 PAGE 2 OF 20 Musicianship benefits, too, as Worsham discovered by booking mutinight stays at Nashvie cubs in 2015 and Residencies, he says, are great for your chops. That was one of the biggest reasons that stee guitarist Pau Frankin, one of the city s most in-demand session payers, joined The Time Jumpers neary 10 years ago. Since Shania Twain broke in the 1990s, producers have increasingy used stee for atmospheric sounds and shorter riffs. Frankin adapted to the change but wanted other ways to chaenge himsef and sharpen his creative musce. I ove what s going on in the studio I don t mean to paint a dark picture but for me, paying a stee guitar, I wanted to aways hone my chops in case some guy came into town and was ike a Conway Twitty or [to pay on] a Vince Gi record, says Frankin. I wanted to be sure that I maintained those skis, so I was aways just practicing at home. Now I don t have to practice. I ve got this Monday-night gig where I can hone those skis. Residencies were typicay reegated in the past to unsigned, deveoping acts ooking to catch a break. Craig Campbe, Ronnie Misap, Rasca Fatts and Lonestar were among those who served as the house band in hotes or bars in downtown Nashvie before they reached nationa stature. Residencies for nationa acts TIME JUMPERS mosty took pace in Las Vegas, where engthy contracts were given to the ikes of Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones and Evis Presey. But in recent years, core country artists began to take advantage of the Strip, too, with engthy bookings for Twain, Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw & Faith Hi, and McEntire with Brooks & Dunn. As Nashvie has moved up on the destination map, it makes increasing sense for artists with some sort of nationa presence to book mutipe dates at a hometown venue where they might attract a mix of ocas and visitors. We ve become ike New York and Chicago and Los Angees, says Frankin. We have so much tourism here that s thriving, and in Nashvie s case, our tourism s sti based around the music. We have a ot of [attractions] here, but a good portion of them are interested in seeing music whie they re here, so the residencies and we re certainy one of them benefit from that. Whie vacationers make a difference, artists have a bit of a pact with the ocas. Most of the residencies take pace on weeknights, and they tend to start at 7 p.m. or 8 p.m., times better suited for working-cass foks than ate cub hours. You can et the dog out or just go straight from work and have dinner and see a show and be home by 9:30, says Barnett. A ot of peope ike to go out during the week rather than on the weekends. It s easier to get a tabe, have a pace to park, that kind of thing. It won t be as stressfu as going out on a Saturday night. Mondays, in fact, may be the most idea night to estabish a residency. It s the sowest night of the week for most venues, which means they take ess of a risk by booking an act for mutipe shows. Pus, touring artists and their bands are usuay in town and unschedued after a weekend of one-nighters. I ve been taking with musician friends who want to do just a jam night on Mondays, because it s musicians Saturday night, says Worsham. Whoever s in town and can make it, does. It s a rotating cast of characters. We pay songs we ove. It s just good for community, it s good for musicianship. He aso notes that it s a good opportunity for casua networking. And because an extended run practicay requires artists to change up their sets, the residency provides an opportunity for singuar performances. That s particuary true at the Ryman, where the venue has made Litte Big Town fee at home both physicay and creativey: Schapman says that sometimes the quartet wi stand at the end of the stage without microphones and do a song a cappea. We can t do that anywhere ese than at the Ryman, she says. It s such a reverent pace, and peope are so respectfu that they wi be totay sient whie that happens, and aso the acoustics in that pace are so beautifu and magica that it works there, and that voices do carry. You can t do that in most other paces. And in most other paces, they aso can t drive home and seep at their own house. Tim McGraw and Faith Hi met with KKGO Los Angees station manager/pd Michae Levine during a two-night stand at the Stapes Center. From eft: Levine, McGraw, Hi and Moo Greek Yogurt owner/ president Zorbey Ozdiek.

Addressing Morris directy, he said, You beieved in us and gave us your music and aowed us to dive into this with you. It s funny; that goes both ways, responds Morris. Yes, I trust you to see the vision and execute it the way we dreamt of. But you win the ottery if you are signed. I d been turned down by a major abe twice in the span of a few months.

14 BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE JULY 24, 2017 PAGE 14 OF 20 MAKIN TRACKS TOM ROLAND Brett Young Mixes Sweet And Sour With New Singe, Like I Loved You There s something coo about taking a heart-breaking song and putting cheerfu sounds to it. Brett Young s Like I Loved You, the foow-up to his No. 1 singe In Case You Didn t Know, is a study in opposite forces working together. It addresses a breakup a rea-ife one, it turns out but surrounds it with just enough upbeat pieces to hep the istener absorb it. A spoonfu of sugar, to quote the great phiosopher Mary Poppins, heps the medicine go down. Baancing sweet musica components and sour story ines is a much-used too in popuar music, empoyed to varying degrees in the Bee Gees Tragedy, Danie Powter s Bad Day, Thomas Rhett s Crash and Burn, Smokey Robinson & The Miraces Tears of a Cown and even Biy Ray Cyrus Achy Breaky Heart. Like I Loved You had that contrast embedded in it from the beginning. Songwriter Jesse Lee ( Peter Pan ) was visiting a home that then itte-known Forida Georgia Line and Chase Rice shared. They caed it the Fun House, and Lee was expecting a good time when the heartbreak set in. I was sitting in front of their house getting ready to go in for some kind of party, and my boyfriend caed me, she remembers. We had just broken up, but we had just seen each other the night before so I thought we were getting back together, and when I tod him I thought we were getting back together, he was ike, We can just be friends, and that s a we re going to be. YOUNG I waked into their house crying, ike I m never going to want to be your friend. And that was the ast thing I ever said to him. Fast-forward to about Lee and Young were paired for a songwriting session at oe music, where she had a pubishing dea at the time. They had never met before, and ideas were not fowing that morning. Eventuay, they decided unch was a better option than work. At the restaurant, Lee shared her Fun House sob story, and she was sti angered by the idea that her ex had suggested they try to be friends. He didn t ove me, she tod Young, the way that I oved him. I m not used to someone being more passionate about something than I am, refects Young. When I saw how worked up she got, I said, That s the song you ve got to write. They headed back to oe, and with Young manning an acoustic guitar and reating to his own et s be friends experiences they worked through Like I Loved You in roughy 90 minutes. The ex s chaenging breakup monoogue ed to a series of short phrases strung together to form the chorus: We coud sti be friends/hang out on the weekends/you re gonna be OK/ If I start seein /Somebody new/you hope that I do. They foowed that with yet another barrage of stabbing verba nuggets. The quick, reentess pacing of that chorus practicay dictated the shape of the verses. Both of us were strugging to find where to take breaths, says Young. So it was a conscious decision when we got to those verses to eave space. Otherwise, you re going to have three-and-a-haf minutes, and peope are going to be passing out trying to sing it. Despite Young s preference not to put bridges in his songs, Like I Loved You sti fet ike it needed a itte more information when the verses were finished. So at the end of the second chorus, they dropped the ast note and jumped right into a new section. But whie the note disappears, the word it s associated with you does not. It s not cut off, insists Lee. You think that it s cut off, but you is the first word of the bridge. So it s You never oved me ike I oved, you aways tod me you d never eave me. We did that purposefuy. Lee sang harmonies behind Young on the demo, which introduced one of the sweet meodic counter-baances to the song s sour pot. Guitarist Derek Wes invented a wafting instrumenta hook for the intro, and Like I Loved You became a key part of Young s attempts to secure a recording dea. It was one of the songs Young used to pitch Big Machine Labe Group (BMLG) when he signed his contract in summer I definitey knew from the beginning I wanted this to be on the record, he says. Producer Dann Huff (Keith Urban, Brantey Gibert) was in fu agreement, but they made some minor aterations, beginning with the key signature. We actuay ended up bringing the key of the song down a itte bit from the demo, which was scary to me, because that verse is in such a ow pace aready, says Young. The [ends of the verses] before, in the higher key, were in fasetto, which was a reay coo moment but didn t fee ike country music to me. Huff moved the opening riff from guitar to stee guitar, running Pau Frankin s sound through a Lesie speaker to get a gassy tone. In addition, he weaved in numerous textures Charie Judge s Hammond B-3 and severa tracks by guitarist Rob McNeey, incuding what Huff cas jange parts on the chorus essentiay throwing more opposite ideas onto the track. I patterned so much after what I earned from [producer] Mutt Lange [Shania Twain, Def Leppard], and he aways had counter-meodies going at a times, says Huff. It was kind of a moving backdrop. In the fina moments of production, Huff heard an Aicia Keys song on the radio, and after getting Young s buy-in he had Judge overdub jaunty acoustic-piano eighth notes in the intro, making the contrasts in Like I Loved You even more extreme. I ve aways iked that juxtaposition, says Huff. I ve aways iked uptempos that ead ike baads. I ike songs that are inherenty sad but don t sound maudin, that make you fee good whie you fee bad. At a party for Seep Without You, Young tod Lee that if he got a fourth singe off his sef-tited debut abum, Like I Loved You woud probaby be the one. Things that you don t want to hear as a writer: If I get it and probaby, says Lee. That means you probaby won t go for a fourth singe, and it won t be ours. And it was not the fourth. Other tracks received some airpay, but Like I Loved You was downoaded and streamed more often. BMLG read that as a sign of consumer interest and made it singe No. 3 for Young, reeasing it to radio via PayMPE on June 26. It ranked No. 1 New and Active a week ago and debuts the week of Juy 23 at No. 48 on Country Airpay. That whoe thing about just being friends is, of course, famiiar to a whoe ot of peope, which might be the best way that Like I Loved You pours a itte sugar on an otherwise bitter topic. The reason so many peope are connecting [with it] is everyone has been there, says Young. Everyone has heard those words whie someone is breaking up with them. Unfortunatey, it s a too common.

15 BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE JULY 24, 2017 PAGE 15 OF 20 THE STARK REPORT PHYLLIS STARK KPLM s Kory James: A Penny Payer Who s Getting Noticed Sma-market radio programmers don t often get a ot of industry ove. Tucked away in their tiny but often extremey musicay active country music markets, they tend to be overooked a bit by Music Row. But on June 6 in Nashvie, one such programmer received a significant honor. KPLM (Big 106) Pam Springs, Caif., PD Kory James was given the inaugura Innovation in Music Award (IMA) in the sma-market category. (Niesen ranks Pam Springs as market No. 132.) James thinks he was chosen for the award because of his passion for music. One of my favorite things, every singe week, is to see what s new out there, he says. That s what s exciting to me. And he has a particuar process for auditioning songs for his current-based station. After he adds one to his payist, he deetes it from digita deivery service PayMPE so that the ony songs the service contains are ones he s not aready paying. He then ets those un-added songs pay on a oop a day in his office. Over the course of a coupe of days, he says, If there s something I m tapping my foot aong to or singing aong to, it wi get a coser ook. It kind of baffes me when [other programmers] wi wait so ong to pay something that s obviousy a hit, he says of his programming phiosophy. I ove paying new music. It s exciting for me to give something that s coo to my isteners. Among the artists he embraced eary are Caifornia native Brett Young and newcomer Jordan Davis. James says Young tod him KPLM was the first pace he ever heard his debut singe on the radio ast year. He remembers Young describing the moment, which happened in a car, teing him, I was so excited. I m screaming and yeing and waving at other cars to turn on the station so they can hear me. That story made James day. I m very happy that I can make someone ese that happy, he says. And that s what we try and do daiy with our isteners. In his IMAs acceptance speech, James reveaed that he s a second-generation JAMES,LEFT, WITH BROOKS broadcaster. His father, Jim Keye, worked in radio for five decades as a sports broadcaster and pay-by-pay announcer. A young James sometimes accompanied his father to work, where he woud soak up the business and occasionay do voice work when a chid was needed for commercias. From there, he says he kind of fe into a broadcasting career, and has now been in the industry for more than two decades. He started at KPLM in 1995 when he was just 20 and worked his way up before taking over programming at the Marker Broadcasting-owned station three years ago. He aso voice-tracks the evening shift. A true mom-and-pop operation, Marker owns just three other stations, a of them in Pam Springs. James ongevity at the station is not an anomay. The peope that are on the air here have been there forever, he says. Midday host TLC has done middays for over 25 years, afternoon personaity Raph Squiace has done it for over 15, and morning show team Randy Houston and Jeff Michaes has done it for 17. Ceary, they have no difficuty retaining staff. Jokes James, Yeah, they reay hate it here. James chats with country programmers in arger markets and gets a augh out of hearing them tak about their street teams and part-timers. He says, We don t have any of that, but we fee that we do a fantastic job at super-serving the audience. The istener has so many different types of media they can get their music [from]: Spotify and Pandora and YouTube. [So] we try and be their buddy, and try to be as oca as we can, he expains. Sure, sateite radio can pay everything that we do and has ess commercias, but if there is a fire over on Pam Canyon or the I-10 is backed up because there s an accident, the istener doesn t get to hear that You have to be oca to be abe to compete. James views KPLM s contribution to the industry in casino patron terms. You have your whaes, he says, but you aso have your penny payers. But if they pay enough, they can certainy hep you out, too.
