The Fourth Annual Dottie West Birthday Bash presented Music Health Alliance with a check for $30,000 raised during the star-studded event Oct. 11 at 3rd & Lindsley.

Presented by Springer Mountain Farms, the show was hosted by Grand Ole Opry legend Jeannie Seely and included a live auction.

“Musicians have always been special to me and I feel like they don’t always get recognized for their efforts. When hard times hit, sometimes these are the folks who get hit the hardest since many of them are young with young families. We appreciate Music Health Alliance allowing us to partner with them, doing all we can to provide the resources needed to assist everyone, but especially this vitally important part of our business,” says Seely.

The event included performances by Seely along with honoree Country Music Hall of Fame member and Grand Ole Opry member Charlie McCoy, The War & Treaty, Rhonda Vincent, Mandy Barnett, Don Schlitz, Vince Gill, John Schneider, Linda Davis and Lang Scott, and many more.

“We are so honored and thankful to once again be the charity partner for such a fabulous event honoring an icon in our industry. Through the generosity of those who attended and participated in the event, Music Health Alliance will be able to provide more than $900,000 in life-saving healthcare advocacy and resources to those who are facing healthcare challenges in the music industry. Thank you for helping us to heal the music,” shares Tatum Allsep, MHA Founder and CEO.

Emily Boardman has joined River House Artists as Creative Manager/Publishing in an expansion of the company’s publishing division. She joins Kayla Adkins, Creative Manager/Publishing, in the department, effective immediately.

Boardman joins River House after a nearly eight-year run at Hipgnosis Songs Group (previously Big Deal Music Group). A University of Albany graduate by way of Orchard Park, New York, Boardman also serves as an AIMP board member and a member of the Women’s Music Business Association.

She will work in tandem with Adkins on the team, who rose from Publishing Manager/Assistant to Creative Manager/Publishing last fall. A graduate of MTSU, Adkins joined River House in 2019 after interning at Make Wake Artists. She has played a large role in the signing of acts Jordan Rowe, Kasey Tyndall, Reid Haughton, Neil Medley and Grant Gilbert and has had a hand in building out River House’s pop division with Knox Morris and Zach Seabaugh.

Together, Boardman and Adkins will spearhead the expansion of River House’s growing publishing arm, coordinating co-writes for staff songwriters, pitching songs, catalog management and assisting in finding new talent.

“Here at River House, everything revolves around a great song. As a company, we strive to over-serve our songwriters and support the growth of the publishing arm as much as we possibly can,” shares Zebb Luster, VP/GM of River House. “Emily is the perfect fit—she is a hustler who has jumped right in and is ready to get to work. She is smart, thoughtful, collaborative and has an exceptional song sense. Kayla and Emily handling all things publishing together is going to be an unstoppable team!”
