Reay? she scoffs. It s a very famiy-friendy genre, and a ot of my friends ove country music, she adds. They want to hear good music and isten to it with their parents, and have a good time with it. Marie is a cardcarrying member of Generation Z, a bock of adut-bound consumers that marketers are increasingy targeting. The age group is important for country music s future today s youth are tomorrow s aduts, and though country has its roots in adut audiences, it seems more paatabe to younger music fans every year. You go to a Kesea Baerini show and ook at the audience, there s a younger audience than ever, says Disney Channes Wordwide vp music strategy Phi Guerini, who oversees youth-driven Radio Disney Country and its terrestria outet, KDRC Los Angees. There s daughters and their moms, and the same can be said ony maybe sighty oder at a Forida Georgia Line show. I went to a Sam Hunt show a few weeks ago, and if I didn t know that Sam Hunt was a country music artist, it coud have been a Shawn Mendes show. It coud have been any number of things. That deveopment is partiay a resut of a ong-term effort by the country music industry to reach younger consumers. Aabama in the 80s and Garth Brooks in the 90s were among the artists who increased the genre s success among coege students. Tayor Swift made the music even more youthfu by reaching teenage girs in arge numbers during the ate 2000s. Younger consumers are an attractive segment. They have fewer responsibiities and thus tend to spend a arger percentage of their income on entertainment. Pus, if they re introduced to country at a young age, they re more ikey to continue consuming the genre as they mature. By 2020 just three years from now they re projected to make up roughy 40 percent of the American consumer base. We re a, I think, setting up for a better and more sustainabe future by ensuring that we re bringing younger fans into the space, says Guerini.

BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE SEPTEMBER 11, 2017 PAGE 2 OF 20 Boomers before them are generay shaped by their reationship to word events, cutura trends and technoogica deveopments. Aged 4-21, according to Sweety High CEO Frank Simonetti, they were born after the introduction of the internet. That has made it easier for them to sampe arge quantities of music on demand, but it has aso become simper for ambitious artists to connect with music decision-makers. They have access to everything they want in the pam of their hand, so they are much smarter and cuturay iterate a ot younger, says Simonetti, whose media company grew a management reationship with Marie through its focus on Gen Z femaes. Socia media has made it [possibe to] broadcast yoursef, so the concept that you coud put yoursef out there is something that s just a compete norm for Gen Z. Using YouTube videos was the introductory route for Kane Brown, who at age 23 is ony two years oder than the most mature Gen Z members. Marie simiary impressed Sweety High execs by posting repeated videos, eventuay eading to a management dea and to the WMN recording contract that has her currenty recording new music with producer Scott Hendricks (Bake Sheton, Dan + Shay). Even 13-year-od EmiSunshine, whose raw, mountain voca stye and acoustic-eaning instrumentation might seem i-suited for marketing via binary code, has boosted her career over the past four years through the internet, racking up 460,000 Facebook foowers and amassing a reported 14 miion YouTube pays, incuding amost 3 miion for a street performance of Fosom Prison Bues. Sunshine reeased an abum, Ragged Dreams, on Aug. 25, stocking it with her own songs about robbery, death and even autism. Some of it s going to be a itte bit sad and depressing, but it makes me happy in a way, she says. A ot of peope isten to a ot more party songs and different things ike that, but I fee ike you need to appreciate the songs that bring out the heartache and the misery to get to the happiness. Sunshine s brand of country is something of a throwback. Infideity, prison, hardship and heartbreak were the stuff of such cassic songs as Mere Haggard s Mama Tried, Tammy Wynette s Stand By Your Man or Hank Wiiams Your Cheatin Heart. But modern Nashvie songwriters are more focused on feeding radio s desire for more upift and ceebration. And that penchant for positivity connects with youth, as MV2 Entertainment artist David Fanning discovered. Fanning, who has co-produced hits for Thompson Square and Parmaee, is roing out a brand of country that mixes the genre with eectronic dance music. Dreamers, the first tite in a four-ep series to be reeased over the next year, is oaded with encouragement, and that s an idea message for Gen Z, which is ooking to buid its future. You don t know the feeing of heartbreak as much when you re 13 or 14, he says. You re thinking you want to get out there and do something. Conditioned from the crade to expect access to the music they want when they want it, current teens are thus more ikey than their oder reatives to jump among genres in their istening habits. Younger kids are more passionate now about music then I ve ever seen, says Fanning. They just move from one to the other quicker. They re aso more ikey to respond to their parents tastes. Born into a vioent post-9/11 word, with the United States constanty at war and mass tragedies frequenty in the headines, they re more ikey to ook for guidance from their parents, which aso makes them more prone to pass music back and forth with their eders. What we see with Gen Z is they are very coaborative with the parents, says Simonetti. They share content, they share trave; for better or for worse, that s a change that we can identify between the miennia generation and Gen Z. That s great news for country. With ess stigma attached to it, with the music more in ine with younger isteners attitudes and with its famiy-friendy branding, country has a big opportunity with Gen Z. Whie most of country s teen acts in earier eras particuary Tanya Tucker, Marie Osmond and LeAnn Rimes were required to sing songs with more mature messages to reach oder isteners, that s no onger the case. Marie, EmiSunshine and Daniee Bradbery (at 21, she sneaks into the top end of Gen Z) have the abiity to speak the anguage of their peers and to connect right aongside the pop and rock acts that more historicay targeted their age group. The net effect is a new generation that doesn t have a ot of preconceived notions but gets served a wider variety of things, says Simonetti. It aso has a much greater potentia to ove a wide variety of things. Dustin Lynch paid a visit to Pandora s New York office in support of his new abum, Current Mood.

BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE SEPTEMBER 11, 2017 PAGE 4 OF 20 ON THE CHARTS JIM ASKER jim.asker@biboard.com Pearce Cracks Airpay Top 10, But How Are Women Faring On The Chart In 2017? Cary Pearce earns her first top 10 on Biboard s Country Airpay chart as her debut hit, Every Litte Thing (Big Machine), cimbs 12-9 (24.2 miion, up 10 percent, according to Niesen Music). This achievement encouraged us to take a ook at how many soo women have reached the region this year and how the resuts compare historicay, as the topic of women popuating radio payists (or the ack of) has initiated much chatter in recent years. In the first 38 chart weeks of 2017, one soo woman has topped Country Airpay, with three others (incuding Pearce), hitting the top 10. Lauren Aaina ed the Apri 22 ist when Road Less Traveed became her first No. 1. Kesea Baerini s Yeah Boy peaked at No. 3 (May 13), and Carrie Underwood s Dirty Laundry hit No. 2 (Jan. 21). How does that stack up to a year ago? In the first 38 weeks of 2016, seven songs by soo women reached the top 10, incuding four No. 1s by two artists: Baerini s Dibs and Peter Pan, PEARCE and Underwood s Heartbeat and Church Bes. The other three top 10s: Burning House by Cam (No. 2), I Got the Boy by Jana Kramer (No. 6) and My Church by Maren Morris (No. 9). Five years ago, in the first 38 frames of 2012, six songs by soo women achieved Country Airpay top 10 success, three of which hit No. 1. And a decade ago, six songs by soo femaes aso reached that region, incuding Tayor Swift s first two top 10s: Tim McGraw (No. 6) and Teardrops on My Guitar (No. 2). When comparing those years, not much variance is evident. KKBQ Houston PD Johnny Chiang says that a song s potentia, not an artist s gender, is what shoud determine initia airpay. Mae, femae, group it just doesn t matter. It s about how good the song is. If any programmers are actuay favoring mae acts over femaes, it s just dumb. WWQM Madison, Wis., PD Fetcher Keyes notes, Morris My Church did not reach No. 1 on the chart, but we just tested 400 songs and Church ranked 15th. That means she s reaching critica mass. As for Pearce, Chiang fees strongy about her chances for further success. We ve been on Every Litte Thing since day one, and it s stronger than ever, he says. I m a beiever. The song is a hit. SPEAKING OF SWIFT With Tayor Swift back with arguaby her most pop singe yet, Look What You Made Me Do (Big Machine/Repubic), at No. 1 on the Biboard Hot 100 for a second week, Johnny Chiang adds that her segue from country has impacted women s totas at her former radio base. Let s face it: When Tayor Swift eft the format, it was a huge bow for the genre, he says. She has a giant, oya egion of fans; a ot of them are now istening to pop stations. With Swift s new song being the event that it is, I put some of her country tracks back in rotation. We re paying Tim McGraw, Red, Love Story and a few others again. Swift is aso nominated for her first CMA ALAINA Award since 2014, as the writer of Litte Big Town s Better Man, which is up for song and singe of the year. Better Man topped Hot Country Songs and Country Airpay for two weeks each earier in 2017. Before transitioning to pop with 2014 s 1989, Swift scored seven No. 1s on Country Airpay, among 18 top 10s. She ast appeared on the chart when her pop smash Shake It Off, 1989 s ead singe, spent a week at No. 58. But not a programmers are reviving Swift s country cataog. It s reay about how we songs research for us, not how popuar someone ike Swift is. Honesty, she never tested that we here, notes Fetcher Keyes. MEANWHILE Dustin Lynch s Sma Town Boy (Broken Bow) eads the Country Airpay chart for a second week, increasing 5 percent to 48.8 miion audience impressions in the week ending Sept. 10, Pus, Luke Combs ands his second top 10 as When It Rains It Pours (River House/Coumbia Nashvie) jumps 15-10 (23.8 miion, up 20 percent). His breakthrough hit, Hurricane, ed for two weeks beginning May 27. PEARCE, ALAINA: GETTY IMAGES

GENTRY, WILLIAMS REMEMBERED One was so ow-key that he was nicknamed the Gente Giant, the other heped bring the fire back to country music by infusing the genre with Southern-rock bravado. Country Music Ha of Fame member Don Wiiams and Montgomery Gentry vocaist Troy Gentry died on Sept. 8, their passings reported roughy 30 minutes apart. They represented different eras and very different approaches to their ife s work, but both added something significant to the breadth of the genre. The circumstances of Wiiams death were not reveaed appropriate for a man who was uncomfortabe with the imeight. He was circumspect about his privacy, reserved in his between-song patter onstage and succinct but thoughtfu in interviews. Instead, Wiiams et his music do the taking, and it said penty. He pied up 44 top 10 country singes from 1974-1992, appying his rich tone to invariaby smart songs about the human condition. His arrangements were aways uncuttered, aowing the messages to resonate through Academy of Country Music singe record of the year Tusa Time, Urban Cowboy-era crossover hit I Beieve in You, iterary masterpiece Good Oe Boys Like Me or commitment symbos You re My Best Friend and Ti the Rivers A Run Dry. Keith Urban has often cited Wiiams stomping groove as an infuence, one that found its pace with itte hoopa. Gentry s death, the resut of a heicopter accident, was a horrifying reminder to a music community that reies heaviy on transportation just how imperied their vocations can be. Montgomery Gentry arrived in 1999, an era when the genre had become exceptionay sugary. The Kentucky duo s anthemic edge exempified in working-cass signatures My Town, Back When I Knew It A and She Coudn t Change Me bended with such acts as Toby Keith, Big & Rich and, ater, Jason Adean to bring more zeaous firepower to the idiom s mix. Montgomery Gentry joined the Grand Oe Opry in 2009, ensuring that buecoar pride and a raucous spirit woud remain a key piece of the country puzze. A pubic ceebration of Gentry s ife is set for 11 a.m. on Sept. 14 at Nashvie s Grand Oe Opry House. In ieu of fowers, his famiy requests that donations be made to the T.J.

BILLBOARD COUNTRY UPDATE SEPTEMBER 11, 2017 PAGE 15 OF 20 MAKIN TRACKS TOM ROLAND tom.roand@biboard.com Indie Artist Tenie Arts Creates Three-Minute Mystery With Cod Feet Fifty years ago, Bobbie Gentry rode atop the Biboard Hot 100 with Ode to Biie Joe, a story-song so steeped in mystery that director Max Baer Jr. made a movie that tried to expain why Biie Joe McAister jumped off the Taahatchie Bridge. Mystery is simiary embedded in Cod Feet, a new song from independent artist Tenie Arts that has movie stamped a over it. The piece finds a young woman torn by a difficut decision as her June 18 wedding date quicky approaches. The overarching pot bears a resembance to the Juia Roberts romantic comedy Runaway Bride. But there s aso a nervous, ate-night appointment at a nearby creek that fees a bit ike the dramatic Tom Hanks-Meg Ryan meeting at the Empire State Buiding in Seepess in Seatte. And the bride-to-be faces a horrific crossroads that hints at the torturous decision at the heart of the Mery Streep vehice Sophie s Choice. Arts thinks of Cod Feet as the sonic equivaent to Nichos Sparks movies, where it s ike this big, ong story where you just get invested in the characters. Arts and her Dreamcatcher Management team upoaded the song to PayMPE on Juy 24, ooking to buid her own story within the music and broadcast businesses, even as Cod Feet gets pay on Spotify, in a YouTube video and on the syndicated Sunday-morning radio show Rise Up With John Ritter. ARTS My mom and I were in our pajamas, says Arts, recaing the first time she heard Cod Feet on the radio. We went out to the car, we re sitting there at 7:30 a.m., my mom s crying, I m reay excited and recording it it s just crazy. John Ritter co-wrote Cod Feet around the end of 2013 after a conversation with his daughter, who was one of severa peope in her circe of friends who were panning weddings. Ritter refected on that chat when he met up with songwriter-producer Adam Wheeer at Nobe Vision in Nashvie for a writing appointment, but it wasn t a rosy tak about happy endings. I said, Man, you know, sometimes peope can get cod feet, recas Ritter. And that s where the whoe idea started. That idea became the foundation for a tae that unfoded throughout the session, which was shrouded in mystery to Ritter and Wheeer, who knew ony that they were headed somehow toward that Cod Feet tite. I used to ove writing story-songs, says Wheeer. We just started at the beginning and made up a story about having cod feet. It s one of the rare times that we just went front to back with no preconceived anding point. Much is tod with minima words in the opening verse. A wedding is so imminent that the bridesmaids dresses have been reserved, and the bride s parents think of the groom as Mr. Perfect. And yet, by the end of the chorus, the wife-to-be goes waking aone after midnight, down a sma-town street/ With cod feet. It s there that the mystery begins. The second verse introduces a etter from an od fame, who wonders if she s having second thoughts about the marriage and invites her to meet secrety down by the creek, where the waters further cement the song s tite. It makes you think, a of the sudden, Where did that come from? A note? Now what s she going to do? says Ritter. Rather than answering those questions, the song moves to a bridge with the singer simpy humming a meody. It s the aura equivaent of a movie fading to back, eaving the istener to imagine the next part of the story. Just what happens down at the creek bank? As a guy, I m thinking, Man, if she went down there, they must ve made out, says Wheeer. Girs may be thinking they were down there taking this out, and that s a possibiity. Then one of Tenie s fans says, Or did she go down there and get stood up? I never considered that possibiity at a. The story picks up after the bridge with an image that cinches the cinematic quaity of Cod Feet : Rain on the sidewak/doubt in her mind. It s amost ike a scene change, says Arts. The ast verse has her in that Sophie s Choice moment, deciding whose heart she s wiing to break, a phrase that Wheeer inserted into the story. That s the ine that reay gets me, says Arts. How do you decide to totay destroy someone when you ove both peope? It s a gut-wrenching moment, though in the end, the woman is ikey to benefit from her decision, no matter which man she chooses. At east she s marrying somebody she oves, or that oves her, says Ritter. Wheeer cut a demo at the home studio of singer-songwriter Pau Sikes, and the song got repeated positive comments as they shopped it around, though no one actuay bit on it. Wheeer never bothered showing it to Arts, since she was recording her own songs. But when Dreamcatcher tod him the company was ooking for a song that woud hep her stand out, he thought of Cod Feet. I coudn t beieve that this song wasn t out in the word, and that they were going to et me record it, she says. Sikes demo guitar was so perfect that they kept that performance and an underying keyboard pad when they hed a tracking session in December 2016 at Curb Recording Studio. The musicians incuding bassist David LaBruyere, drummer Evan Hutchings, pianist David Dorn and stee guitarist Scotty Sanders payed sparingy, with guitarist Derek Wes adding atmospheric sounds and Adam Shoenfed using an Ebow handhed guitar effect to create an ominous ceo-ike tone in the bridge. Arts was so emotionay chaenged by Cod Feet that she had difficuty getting through some of the takes, and that vunerabiity eads to an appropriatey fragie performance. Tenie did an amazing job, says Wheeer. We can write pretty words a day ong, but if you don t have somebody with the abiity to transate it ike she did, it doesn t go too far. Arts hopes the song eads to a recording dea, but reminiscent of the woman in Cod Feet she doesn t want to commit to the wrong partner. That probaby be our next step, she says, but I m a about finding peope who beieve in it 100 percent. In the meantime, as much of the word is sti discovering Arts, her eary fans are aready viewing the Cod Feet mystery through a cinematic ens. Peope are ike, When are we going to get to hear the seque? Arts says with a augh. It s that big a story. Peope are invested in it, and they want to know more.
