\n\tGracie Abrams, Thomas Rhett, Aaron Dessner and Leon Bridges are performing at this year\u2019s National Music Publishers\u2019 Association annual meeting on Wednesday (June 11) at Lincoln Center\u2019s Alice Tully Hall. The event, which acts as a state-of-the-union for music publishers, has continued to integrate more songwriters into the event in recent years to honor the talents that publishers serve every day.<\/p>\n

\n\tAbrams and Dessner are part of a special segment of the meeting, dedicated to the Billboard Songwriters Awards, a collaboration between Billboard<\/em> and the NMPA which was rescheduled from GRAMMY week due to the Los Angeles wildfires. Abrams is set to receive the Breakthrough Songwriter Award to account for her fast-growing career as an artist, and Dessner will be given Billboard<\/em>\u2018s Triple Threat Award for his success as a songwriter, producer and musician. Though to pop fans Dessner might be best known for his work producing and writing with Taylor Swift, Bon Iver, Ed Sheeran and Abrams, he is also lauded in the indie rock space as a longtime member of the band The National. Both are set to perform.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tKacey Musgraves to Receive Songwriter Icon Award at NMPA Annual Meeting\u00a02025\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tAdditionally, the NMPA is giving out awards of its own. It\u2019s Non-Performing Songwriter Award this year is going to Rhett Akins, and as part of that honor, his son, Thomas Rhett, will perform a medley of his father\u2019s vast country catalog, which includes songs like \u201cDirt On My Boots\u201d by Jon Pardi, \u201cHoneybee\u201d by Blake Shelton, \u201cI Don\u2019t Want This Night To End\u201d by Luke Bryan, \u201cSmall Town Boy\u201d by Dustin Lynch, \u201cLook What God Gave Her\u201d by Rhett, and many more. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe NMPA\u2019s Songwriter Icon this year is Kacey Musgraves, and Bridges is flying in to pay tribute to Musgraves by performing a rendition of two of her songs. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe NMPA Annual Meeting, which is attended by a who\u2019s who of the music publishing business, will also feature a keynote conversation with Oliver Schusser<\/strong> from Apple Music, and an address from the organization\u2019s CEO\/president David Israelite<\/strong> this year. Typically, Israelite\u2019s speech includes a major announcement <\/a>about new action the NMPA is taking to protect publishers and their writers. Last year, Israelite took on Spotify for cutting payments to publishers by about 40% that year through a multi-faceted attack plan, which is still on-going. He has also used the stage to announce lawsuits against Roblox, Twitter and more for using publishers\u2019 copyrights without a license in previous years. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2024, the NMPA gave the Songwriter Icon award to Lana Del Rey and the Non-Performing Songwriter Icon award to Savan Kotecha, who has written hits like \u201cAzizam\u201d by Ed Sheeran, \u201cGod Is A Woman,\u201d \u201cBreak Free\u201d and \u201cBreak Up With Your Girlfriend, I\u2019m Bored\u201d by Ariana Grande, \u201cI Can\u2019t Feel My Face\u201d by The Weeknd, \u201cWhat Makes You Beautiful\u201d by One Direction and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
