CMA Presents Triple Play Awards At CMA Songwriters Luncheon

Tunesmiths shined in the spotlight as the CMA Triple Play Awards were handed out at the Sixth Annual CMA Songwriters Luncheon on February 3.

Fourteen of Nashville’s top writers from BMI, ASCAP and SESAC received the award, which is presented to those who pen three chart-topping hits in a 12-month period.
