BMI Singer/Songwriter to Perform at STAR Awards Dinner & Ceremony

Lee Brice

Country singer and songwriter Lee Brice will perform at the SCBA STAR Awards on Saturday, August 15 at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center in Columbia.  Brice co-wrote the #1 hit "More Than a Memory" which was recorded by Garth Brooks and he has written songs for Jason Aldean, Cowboy Crush and Keith Gattis.  In the fall of 2007, he released his first album, Pictures of Me, which included the single, "She Ain't Right."  Brice grew up in Sumter, SC and attended Clemson University on a football scholarship until an arm injury put a halt to his time on the field.  It was then that he decided to pursue his passion for music.  He began learning piano at the age of seven and writing songs at the age of ten.  Brice's musical influences range from Alabama to Coldplay and his music is described as a cross between honky tonk sounds and contemporary rock & roll.

Fight Back!  Join the Radio Free Alliance!

The record labels have asked Congress to expand the performance tax and tax radio.  If this new tax is approved, it could force thousands of smaller, niche radio stations out of business.  Join the Free Radio Alliance Coalition by going to www.freeradioalliance.org  The Coalition currently has more than 150 members made up of radio broadcasters and their associations, non-profit organizations, radio ministries and religious radio broadcasters, hospitality industry organizations, African American and Latino minority organizations and others that are united to stop this effort to tax radio.  SCBA encourages small and minority-owned stations to become a part of the Coalition. Stations can participate by airing spots for the campaign (call SCBA to request the spots), contact members of Congress to tell them to oppose any expansion of the performance tax and encourage other stations and organizations to join the Alliance.

Tips for Non-Profit Organizations

For local radio and television stations across South Carolina, community service is more than a passing concern.  It is a way of doing business.  Every day in South Carolina, from the biggest cities to the smallest towns and everywhere in between, broadcasters are going to bat for community charities, educating residents about important local issues, and delivering lifesaving information and relief in times of crisis or disaster.  Non-profit groups across the state know they can turn to their local radio and television stations for a helping hand.  The tradition of community service by South Carolina broadcasters is unmatched by any other industry and one that we pledge to uphold in the years ahead.  If you want to gain exposure for your charitable organization, school or other civic group, SCBA provides these guidelines for working with the media.
