SESAC-Zac Brown for Wed. AM

SESAC GETS CHICKEN-FRIED: Zac Brown, frontman of the heavy-hitting Nashville-based band that bears his name, has signed with SESAC for his songwriter representation. Brown supplied a quote for the occasion: “I have a great respect for songwriting. It’s one of the most powerful ways to reach people, and to be able to write music as my career is one of the greatest gifts I could have asked for. Great songs accompany our most precious memories, bring us out of darkness and connect us all. I’m very excited about the ones cooking and our new team at SESAC.” So did the org’s SVP Writer/Publisher Relations, Trevor Gale: “Zac’s excellence as a songwriter is well known, not just in the country music market, but across genres. We are proud to welcome him to the SESAC family. Can I get a whee-dawgie’?” Brown’s country chart-toppers include “Toes,” “Chicken Fried, “Colder Weather,” “Goodbye in Her Eyes” and “Sweet Annie.” (8/6a)
