Season 2 Episode 35Show Bio:Episode 35 – Back in November of 2017 I traveled down to Jackson, TN to see Jonathan Singleton play a show, what I didn't know was, who the opener was. When Skyelor Anderson hit that stage I was blown away, by his performance. His originals had lyrics that struck a chord with me and I had to find out more of this guy. I ended up catching one of his sets one time on Broadway in Nashville and was once again blown away how he would make cover songs his own. He owns the stage and is ready to show the world why he is on top of his game.

Episode 30 – I told you season 2 was going to be bigger and better. Probably one of the greatest songwriters of my time, the man who is writing the soundtrack to my life, Jonathan Singleton. I first came across Singleton in 2007, at a dive bar in Starkville, MS called Rick's Cafe. Still, to this day one of my favorite bars. This young scrappy guy was on a stool just him and his guitar belting out future #1 hits. I didn't know it at that time, but I was witnessing one of the first times if not the first, that Singleton ever opened for Eric Church. Now, 13 years later he is cranking out #1's with Luke Combs, Co-owns a publishing company, has an amazing family, and is not slowing down anytime soon. Jonathan is a powerhouse, his voice makes me think of what Angels will sound like, and the way he captures words on paper is like nothing else. I warn you this may be my longest episode to date, we have a lot of ground to cover, and it’s been amazing watching this scrappy dude on a bar stool on Starkville, MS grow into Co-Owner of 50 Egg Music.

The last fresh episode of 2018 is hit country music songwriter, Jonathan Singleton.  He is known for co-writing the songs "Don't" by Billy Currington, "Watching Airplanes" by Gary Allan, "A Guy Walks Into a Bar" by Tyler Farr, "Red Light" and "Let It Rain" by David Nail, "Why Don't We Just Dance" by Josh Turner and "Diamond Rings and Old Barstools" by Tim McGraw. In 2009, the American Society of Composers, Publishers and Authors (ASCAP) awarded Singleton for "Don't," which was one of the most-played country music songs of that year. Jonathan not only talks about what led him to be an artist/songwriter, but also the trouble of being a songwriter. We discuss the politics and the next steps to just even get your song noticed. He also shares the stories of what happened in the writing room when writing some of his biggest hits. 

Mike Molinar is the GM of Big Machine Music (BMM), where he brings over twenty years of street smarts, creative experience, and entrepreneurial drive that's hard to think that anybody could match. Molinar oversees all aspects of BMM which was ranked Top 5 in Billboard’s 2017 Hot Country Publisher Corps and Top 10 Hot 100 Publishing Corps. BMM boasts fourteen No.1 hits and over twenty Top 20 singles since opening in mid-2012. BMM’s roster features artists and writers Brett Young, Luke Combs, Justin Moore, Trent Harmon, Maddie & Tae, Tyler Rich, Joe Don Rooney of Rascal Flatts, Jonathan Singleton, Josh Thompson, Laura Veltz, and Jessie Jo Dillon, among others.  We start with humble beginnings in San Antonio, TX where he was noticed for a natural ear for music.  After years and scanning the landscape, Mike eventually set a course for continuing a career on the business side of music.  We didn't forget about publishing. What are the challenges of publishing in a company like Big Machine's, and how does Molinar meet them head-on.  Who gets what in the song, and are we going to see changes soon?

Sarah Schuberth, Esq. (Music Law Chick)   Jonathan Singleton-The Getaway   Brandon Barnett-Your Everloving Arms   Department Of Justice Contact Page     Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution reads as follows: “To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries."   I’ve decided to fire up the podcast in between seasons. You know why? Because I can. See, that’s what’s so liberating about creating something yourself. You can do with it whatever you want. There are no special committees or board members to vote on whether or not you can move forward. If I want to walk away from this podcast thing right now, I can. If I want to put out two episodes a day, that’s my prerogative.   Creative control is a beautiful thing. And the concept of intellectual property rights is just downright gorgeous. I can create something out of thin air and own it just like you own your automobile or your puppy dog. No one person or government can just come in and take that away from me, legally. That’s what the framers of the U.S. Constitution thought anyway.   But on June 30th, just two days before the Independence Day weekend, the United States Department Of Justice not only refused to change outdated consent decrees concerning Performing Rights Organizations (or PROs) that have been in place since the second world war, it also issued new regulations that would make 100% licensing with one PRO mandatory on co-written songs.   So what the hell does all this mean? Well, by refusing to update the existing consent decrees, songwriters do not have the right to pull their songs from streaming services if they so choose. The government sets the rate and songwriters have to live with it. And that rate is fractions of a penny on the dollar.   But evidently that wasn’t enough for the DOJ. The new ruling concerning 100% licensing is an entirely different can of worms, that evidently, no one saw coming.   Long-time listeners of Left Of Nashville will be familiar with Jonathan Singleton.  Jonathan is a hit songwriter out of Nashville. Some of his hits include “Watching Airplanes” by Gary Allan, “Red Light and Let It Rain” both by David Nail, “A Guy Walks Into A Bar” by Tyler Farr and the GRAMMY nominated “Diamond Rings and Old Barstools” by Tim McGraw. Here’s his explanation of the new ruling:       Speaking of lawyers, Sarah Ruth Schuberth, esq. is an attorney as well as a songwriter. Why you slacking Sarah? Why not a doctor too? Oh yeah, that’s what she was studying before music law caught her eye. Sarah is going to serve as Left Of Nashville’s in house counsel for this series. You can see what she’s about at facebook.com/musiclawchick. I’ll have it linked up in the show notes.   I must admit, I’m somewhat surprised at the lack of outrage coming from the music community about this ruling. I believe that one reason many are not speaking out is because of a lack of empathy for those “millionaire” songwriters whining about their gravy train being derailed.     But I believe by and large the reason more are not speaking out is because they are artists. It’s the nature of the beast. Either they don’t know what is happening or they don’t want to know. Most figure that someone else will take care of this. And because we have an artist’s heart, we are easy pickings. Sarah Schuberth esq     And the ones who do know what is going on are having trouble concentrating on anything else.     We have one year before this new ruling goes into effect. And this podcast series isn’t just going to ring the bell on the problems. We are going to look for solutions.    Like I said earlier, we have a year before this ruling takes effect. But we can’t rely on others to fight this. We as songwriters, musicians, podcasters, bloggers and anyone who cares about music and the rule of law must unite. You might think that this doesn’t  even affect you. Hell, the two licensing deals I currently have in L.A. are solo writes. I wrote the State I’m In with Jonathan and we are both ASCAP writers. So technically, this doesn’t even affect me…YET. Well, not that I know of. But this decision will have a ripple effect that will impact everyone. It is my feeling that even if you could get every songwriter to move to the same PRO to bypass this logistical nightmare, there will be even more anti-trust legislation put in place. That was the whole reason for the consent decrees in the first place back when ASCAP was the only game in town.    This will impact the entire music industry and then spread to others. What do you think will happen to Nashville’s booming real estate and tourism markets over the long term? What will happen to the quality and quantity of songs when writers who have that magic are no longer able to write together because of junk regulations?   So I’m asking you to join the fight. Share this podcast series with anyone who will listen. Leave a review in iTunes to help make it more visible. I want to have people in the industry on this show who have the power to stop this thing dead in its tracks and reverse the regulations put in place over seventy years ago.     

Special episode with outtakes of the birth of Left Of Nashville. Including never heard footage of the co-write with Jonathan Singleton where we almost made the chorus the verse.   Left Of Nashville

As creative entrepreneurs, we are blessed with many ideas. We have project ideas pop into our heads while we are in the shower or mowing the yard. This can be a beautiful thing. But it is also a double edged sword.   Sometimes, we get “shiny object syndrome” and start chasing so many things that we don’t get anything accomplished. Or we at least don’t live up to our full potential in one area. Our blessing then becomes a curse.   I still completely stand by my theory of trying to have multiple income streams and not putting all of my eggs in one basket. But I realize where I’ve gone wrong with this. While it is necessary to have a backup for my backup, i need to focus on one thing at a time and reach minimum viable income before moving on to the next thing. Minimum viable income is simply the amount of money one needs   to make in order to support yourself.—emphasis on minimum.   And it’s quite possible that I would be at my minimum viable income level with my music if one or both of the two publishing companies that I've signed with had gotten my songs placed. But that hasn’t happened. Not yet anyway.   So let me tell you what I WAS going to announce in this season finale episode. I was planning on starting a podcast network. I was going to launch another podcast this summer that was to be a documentary on music that was birthed in and around my hometown. For those of you who are not familiar with all of the game changers that were spawned from this patch of land between Memphis and Nashville, the names would astound you.    But this thing was going to be a money pit if I couldn’t secure funding for it. The music licensing alone was going to wear me out. I mean, Paul McCartney has the publishing on some of the music that I needed to use, for crying out loud. But for a couple of weeks, I had convinced myself that I could pull this thing off and still work on my music career.   But then, one morning I woke up and asked myself, “What the hell am I doing?” This is the same damn thing that I did at the end of Season One. Why do I keep chasing all these things?   And after a couple of days of real soul searching, it hit me: I don’t have enough faith. I still don’t think that I’m good enough to make music for a living. I mean, I say that I am but what else would explain me getting so close, then, jumping onto some new project. I think it’s fear of both failure and success.   So I’m getting back to basics. I’m going back to 2014 before I even thought about doing a podcast. Hell, I’m even going back further than that to when I wasn’t even considering Nashville as a possibility.   The writing is on the wall and it has been since I signed that first licensing deal last summer. My music is taylor made for sync licensing. That’s what I do naturally. Jonathan Singleton has even told me that. And I’ve got two legal documents with my signature on them that back him up. The writing has been on the wall for some time now and I've just refused to read it.   With sync, I can write and record my stripped down songs myself. And I already have an open door to submit my music anytime I want. There was a time that I would KILL  for that opportunity ALONE and I realize that I've been taking it for granted. I’m also going to reach out to music supervisors with my music. This is something that I should have been doing all along.   And there is no that wonder that nothing is happening for me in Nashville. I mean, I’ve only set foot in that town once in a year’s time. I’ve half-assed it the whole way. And to be honest, I could’ve found a way to make more happen there, even as broke as I’ve been. But my heart’s just not in it. Where my heart lies is in creating these quirky acoustic based songs from scratch and having total control of how they sound. I love the limitations that I have because of the lack of help and money.    But I believe that everything happens for a reason. i have learned so much with all the dabbling that I’ve done. The biggest takeaway that I’ve received from my flirtations with Nashville is to be able to write, whether the muse shows up or not. I believe that this is essential. And the song a week experiment was a test to take that Nashville model of writing songs on a schedule and apply it to my singer-songwriter tunes. And for the most part, it worked. This experiment helped push me to the point where I realized that I need to have a Music Row writer’s work ethic then write and produce as many songs as possible for sync licensing.   So instead of trying to do both L.A. and Nashville, I am taking what I have learned from Nashville and going 100% in on sync. So, in one way, I’m glad that I was so scattered, because without doing this and spreading myself too thin, I wouldn’t have had this epiphany.   And if something happens in the meantime with “The State I’m In” that causes doors to open in Nashville, you can bet I will walk through them. And I do eventually want to develop a podcast network. But first things first. I need to walk through the doors that have been opened for me in L.A. with my music and double down on that.   So where does this leave Left Of Nashville? Well, there will be a Season 3. But we won’t be doing the season featuring LOLO as once planned. I have to put all my attention on my career at this point and season 3 will document what happens after attacking sync licensing with my full focus. I am not going to close the door behind me, I want to share everything that I learn that may help you guys. That was the promise I made when I started this thing to begin with.   Somewhere along the way, this thing got flipped on its head. I found myself in a position where I was writing songs in order to put out an episode of the podcast instead of making an episode to document all the music I was making. And that may sound like I am splitting hairs here, I mean, at least I was writing songs, right? Who cares about the motivation?   But I wasn’t being to true to who I really am. Look, I love making this podcast. This is so much fun. But I am a singer-songwriter first. Without the songs, I have no reason to make Left Of Nashville. We have to become what we are.   So, I want to thank you guys for coming along with me for this season, I’ve had a blast. And I hope you come back for Season 3. There are a few thoughts that I want to leave you with: The path to doing what we are meant to do isn’t going to be a straight line. There are going to be some dead ends along the way.   But the most important thing is to try things. Always be sending up trial balloons. But just as important as doing this, is being self-aware enough to realize what works  and what doesn’t.   The whole damn thing really is a learning experience and you will gain knowledge from these so called “failures” that will lead you to success. I truly believe this. So get out there and move things around. Then hone in and put a dent in the universe.  

In this episode, Brandon talks about "Impostor Syndrome," the belief that we all have that we are not worthy when it comes to actualizing our dreams. He asks friends of his (Jonathan Singleton, Marty Dodson and Lauren Pritchard) who have achieved success if they deal with this and if it ever goes away. Brandon talks about how Impostor Syndrome is what kept him from pursuing his music dreams for so long, and how it stole his joy after finally signing that licensing deal in L.A.

Songs on modern country radio are on average, two years old before they are released.  After a year since writing 'The State I'm In' with Jonathan Singleton, there is some news about the song. A new artist, Destin Bennett, is wanting to put vocals over the demo of the song. Bennett later records a full work up of the song with a powerhouse GRAMMY winning producer.

Tonight Joel Henard(@joelhenard) is joined by Mike Newman(@MikeNewmanRS) from RotoScouting.com to talk all things prospects. Also in this episode Joel interviews former Cincinnati Reds outfielder Eric Davis, HOF Closer and former Cardinal Bruce Sutter and Jonathan Singleton from Houston Astros. 

The Red Sox are still off to their third-worst start since 1987, but the mood around the club sure feels a lot better after David Ortiz’s game-winning, three-run blast off Joba Chamberlain in the ninth inning Sunday. Alex recaps the big win to close out the weekend in Detroit, and discusses whether it could be the start of a successful week for the hometown team. It’s clear that the Red Sox dearly missed Mike Napoli, who also homered in the contest. The Red Sox had lost five consecutive games prior to Sunday, largely thanks to missed opportunities with runners in scoring position and the worst offensive outfield since the 162-game regular season schedule was implemented. Alex provides of an overview of the problems that continue to ail the club, and how much the team can do to fix them. It was a big week for discussion surrounding the minor league system, as the MLB amateur draft started Thursday and Mookie Betts was promoted to Triple-A. Alex speaks with the Executive Editor for Sox Prospects – Chris Hatfield – about the team’s philosophy in terms of promoting prospects, Betts’ potential timeline to reach the Major Leagues, the lack of organizationally outfield depth and more. In the “Around the League” segment, Alex talks about Manny Machado’s childish behavior over the weekend, and how that may affect the Orioles going forward. The Astros signed first baseman Jonathan Singleton to a five-year contract with three club options before he played one game in the big leagues, which could change the game forever.
