BMI Celebrates Little Big Town’s ‘Pontoon’
BMI welcomed Music Row executives, songwriters, friends, and family to the rooftop of its Nashville offices Friday afternoon for a party celebrating the Little Big Town No. 1 “Pontoon.” The hugely successful summer anthem was co-written by red-hot songwriter Luke Laird, who celebrated his tenth No.1 single; Natalie Hemby, who celebrated her second; and first-time chart-topper Barry Dean. “Pontoon” also marks the first No. 1 for Little Big Town, whose album Tornado also clinched the No. 1 spot. All three of the songwriters, along with all four members of Little Big Town, are members of the BMI family. Pictured are (back row) Sandbox Entertainment’s Jason Owen, EMI Music Publishing’s Tom Luteran, Capitol Nashville’s Steve Hodges, Universal Music Publishing’s Kent Earls, and BMI’s Jody Williams; (front row) Little Big Town’s Philip Sweet, Kimberly Schlapman, Karen Fairchild, and Jimi Westbrook; and Hemby, Laird, and Dean.
