Performance Rights Bill Passes Through Judiciary Committee

Thank you to everyone who took the time to call their Members of Congress and friends to call in support of the Performance Rights Act over the past couple of days. I am so excited to report that the House Judiciary Committee favorably reported the legislation yesterday by a vote of 21-9. This is a momentous occasion for musicians everywhere and one step closer to achieving our goal of getting performers paid for radio play.

While this is a great victory, our work is far from over. We must keep spreading the word about our campaign and gaining the support of artists all over the country.

On to the Senate - we go.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
