Hello gang! Songwriter, guitar player and BMI's Executive Director – Creative Austin, TX, Mitch Ballard is my guest for episode 1263! Founded in 1939 to represent songwriters in emerging genres to protect public performances of their music, BMI is the largest music rights organization in the world. In 2019, BMI and Mitch opened their Texas office here in Austin. For more information on BMI go to bmi.com. Mitch and I have a great conversation about BMI's role in the music business and the services he and the Austin office provide, his journey as a songwriter, playing with and tour managing legendary singer B.J. Thomas for 15 years, the BMI Songwriter Series at The Saxon Pub, how he sees the Austin music scene and much more. I had a great time getting to know Mitch. I'm sure you will too. Let's get down!
