Advertising signExecutive West Coast / Nashville editor Melinda Newman presents Seth England with Executive of the Year at Advertising sign's Country Power Players 2024.
Melinda Newman:
Before we have the next presentation, I'd like to recognize the winner Advertising sign's Country Power Players Choice Award, voted on by its members Advertising sign Pro. This year's recipient is WME's Jay Williams. Congratulations, Jay. As WME Nashville celebrates its 50th anniversary, Jay helped make it what it is.
I would also like to congratulate this year's Legend Award recipient, Linda Martell. As many of you know, Linda Martell was the first black woman to play the Grand Ole Opry in 1969. And her 1969 hit “Color Him Father” was the highest charting song on Hot Country Songs by a black woman to Beyoncé's “Texas Hold” 'Em hit No. 1 in February. Linda can't be here with us tonight, but she sends her regards and you can read our exclusive interview with her and more about her and Jay's achievements in the current issue of Advertising sign.
Now it is my pleasure to present Advertising signCountry Power Players Executive of the Year to Big Loud CEO Seth England. With acts like Morgan Wallen, Hardy, Ernest, Hailey Whitters and more, Seth showed that Big Loud can make some really big noise.
Hello. I'm not done talking about you. You can hang out here. I'm just going to say some nice things about you. Seth started as an intern at Big Loud Shirt 18 years ago and was willing to do anything, including picking weeds outside Craig Wiseman's office.
