March 4, 2011 BMI recently congratulated songwriter Rhett Akins for a stellar year on the charts with a dinner at Nashville’s Stoney River. Akins is one-third of the Peach Pickers, a powerhouse songwriting trio also featuring his frequent collaborators Dallas Davidson and Ben Hayslip. The three scored four #1 hits in the past year alone: “Gimmie That Girl,” “All About Tonight,” “All Over Me,” and “Farmer’s Daughter.” Pictured at the dinner are EMI Music Publishing Nashville’s Tom Luteran, BMI’s Jody Williams, EMI Music Publishing Nashville’s Laura Wright, Thomas Rhett Akins, Akins, BMI’s Leslie Roberts, EMI Music Publishing Nashville’s Ben Vaughn, BMI’s Clay Bradley, Kasey Lee Akins, EMI Music Publishing’s Josh Van Valkenburg, BMI’s Beth Laird, EMI Music Publishing Nashville’s Missy Roberts, and BMI’s Mark Mason.
