Sound Royalties Backs the Muscle Shoals Songwriters Festival, Set in Storied Alabama Music Town

Sound Royalties supports the Muscle Shoals music community in its ongoing quest to support songwriters.

Sound Royalties, the leading music financing company, knows songwriters are both devoted artists and hard-working small business owners. That’s why the company is once again supporting these creatives at the upcoming Muscle Shoals Songwriters Festival (November 4-5, 2022), a two-day event celebrating the art and craft of song.

“We strive to provide the everyday fuel songwriters need to keep the creative energy burning, and to build a more accessible financial future for music creatives,” explains Alex Heiche, founder and CEO of Sound Royalties. “The Muscle Shoals Songwriters Festival shares our vision, and we’re thrilled to join the festival again this year and support their creative community.” 

Held annually in one of America’s hubs for making music history, the festival highlights great voices in songwriting, while lifting up new writers and perspectives, all in a welcoming, fun environment. Sound Royalties will have a video lounge available for the award-winning performers to share their songwriting stories. It will also power a showcase featuring Kent Blazy, Bobby Tomberlin, Mark Narmore, Jeff Garrison, Payton Smith, Emily Falvey, Monty Holmes, Marla Cannon, and Billy Lawson at the Marriott Conference Center. And it will host the VIP section of one of the festival’s biggest parties at Swampers Bar and Grille all weekend, complete with its own signature cocktail, the Sound Spritz.

"The Muscle Shoals Songwriters Festival 2022 presented by Marriott Shoals will be filled with incredible songwriters who will take the stage and share their story behind some of the most famous songs ever written,” says Muscle Shoals Songwriters Festival Founder Lillian Glanton. “We are excited to have Sound Royalties involved for the second year in a row. Their continuing efforts to support songwriters both financially and creatively is such a beautiful thing and we're grateful for their partnership."

Sound Royalties has worked with songwriters in this genre and community including previous festival performer Dylan LeBlanc and Grammy-winning songwriter and Muscle Shoals Songwriters Festival Director Philip White, as well as Earl Bud Lee, Sonia Leigh, Larry Weiss, and many more. 

White’s journey reflects how important financing can be to a songwriter’s career. He has penned country hits for artists such as George Strait, Luke Bryan, Chris Ledoux, Vince Gill, Darius Rucker, Reba, Blake Shelton, Rascal Flatts, and Jake Owen. He has also toured extensively with his own band, served on the Board of the Festival since its inception in 2019, and worked with Sound Royalties to finance his music projects, appreciating their artist-friendly terms. “The music business has changed so much, but it’s still hard to get financing when you need it,” explains White. “Sound Royalties makes life easier for me and other songwriters.”
