“Heal the Music Day” in Nashville
! For Immediate Release OCTOBER 20 DECLARED “HEAL THE MUSIC DAY” IN NASHVILLE Initiative to raise awareness and support for self-employed music community in times of medical crisis, benefitting non- profit Music Health Alliance Early supporters include Chris & Morgane Stapleton, Dierks Bentley, Gary Allan, Emmylou Harris, Lee Brice, Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert, Peter Frampton, Rodney Crowell, Ronnie Dunn, T Bone Burnett, Vince Gill, Warner Chappell Music and many more! Nashville, TN – June 27, 2017 – Today, Music City Music Council Executive Director Justine Avila and Grammy® award winning artist Rodney Crowell joined Music Health Alliance Founder Tatum Allsep and board members Jay Williams (WME) and Kris Wiatr (Wiatr & Associates) at The Steps at WME to officially proclaim October 20 “Heal The Music Day” in Music City. The initiative, which will take place throughout the Nashville community, is an effort to raise awareness and support for the more than 56,000 people who make a living in the music industry, 76% of whom are self- employed or part of small business without access to group health benefits - including songwriters, producers, audio engineers, musicians, recording artists, publishers and more. “It is my great pleasure to proclaim October 20th as Heal The Music Day in recognition of Music Health Alliance’s work to connect some of the 56,000 Nashvillians in the music industry with doctors, medicine, health insurance and financial assistance during times of illness,” said Nashville Mayor Megan Barry. “So many of our artists, entertainers, songwriters, musicians, and crew are self-employed and go without access to high-quality health insurance. Heal The Music Day is about giving back and showing we care about those who put the music in Music City.” “Heal The Music Day” is the one day a year where everyone involved in the creative community can give back to a non-profit organization that gives to them each and every day throughout the year.

“Somebody's Gotta Wear a Pretty Skirt”
“Somebody’s gotta wear a pretty skirt”- Constructions of masculinity and femininity in modern country music Annica Malm English Advanced Level/15hp Department of Social and Behavioural studies/University West Fall term 2016 Supervisor: Anna Elgemark Examiner: Rickard Ramhöj Title: “Somebody’s gotta wear a pretty skirt”- constructions of masculinity and femininity in modern country music Author: Annica Malm Supervisor: Anna Elgemark Abstract Constructions of masculinity and femininity can be reinforced through written and spoken language, creating stereotypes and inequality between genders. Gender representations in music lyrics have been studied for various genres, but the country music genre has been somewhat underrepresented. Considering the fact that country is seen as the authentic music genre and culture of the US, it is relevant to study how gender is represented in relation to society. The aim of this study is to investigate how masculinity and femininity is represented in 15 modern country songs from the last decade retrieved from Billboard.com. The hypothesis for this study is that modern country music should have a less stereotypical view on men and women than older country music. Critical Discourse Analysis has been used to analyse the lyrics, and metaphors, similes and verbs have been analysed in order to reach the aim. The country music culture has been the framework to interpret the results, as well as the view of femininity and masculinity as social constructions. The findings point to more exaggerated versions of masculinity and more stereotypical depictions of femininity being represented in the lyrics than older research made about country music and gender.
