#2710- Kenny Chesney - Quick Pitch!
A Street Pitch guest and music publisher who has already generated income for SongU members is listening to songs for Hey Now Records co-founder and flagship artist Kenny Chesney.
Seeking: Please read the description carefully and only submit the following. Thanks! Being Kenny Chesney, I know you're thinking sun, sand, surf, and beach-themed songs - but this is NOT the kind of song needed for this pitch. Also, no ballads and no mid-tempo songs - those bases are already covered. Submit UPTEMPO SONGS ONLY! Musically, think feel-good, high-energy, fun; musical tone might be akin to "Uptown Funk" or "Can't Stop the Feeling." Lyrically, songs that say something meaningful and relevant. These kinds of fun-sounding yet meaningful songs are hard to write; they need to be something Kenny hasn't already sung. The pitch deadline is November 20th.
AI Guidelines: As per current copyright guidelines, this guest will only consider songs with 100% human-authored lyrics and 100% human-authored melodies. See https://songu.com/FAQAI-Guidelines.aspx. AI may be used for production or vocals with disclosure.
Additional AI Use Update: All our pitch guests are reporting that record labels, artists, and management are frequently asking song pluggers and publishers to provide a time-stamped original work tape version from the songwriter as proof of human authorship. If you use AI enhancements in your production, it is strongly suggested that you keep a copy of your original "work tape" demonstrating your original melody and lyrics, with a digital timestamp that predates the AI-produced version. Your work tape doesn't have to be professional-sounding. It can be as simple as you singing the melody and lyrics a cappella. Do not attach your work tape to this submission. If needed, the guest will ask you for it later.
Pitch Follow-up: If this guest expresses interest in your song, you will be asked to sign a single song agreement, executable only with a major cut.

George is currently headlining his 'Cowboy Songs Tour' through 2027.
Seeking: Songs for this Texas native that are rooted in contemporary country and blend traditional Nashville storytelling with a lyric-driven narrative that draws from real-life moments and experiences. I need songs that span the gamut from emotional, reflective ballads to high-energy up-tempos with anthemic choruses and singable hooks. Themes can also encompass personal relationships and small-town, rural, and country life. Musically, think of songs with a traditional country-rooted feel, complemented with contemporary production.

Seeking: Songs for Marfa, a modern Indie Rock and folk duo made up of Bryce Menchaca and Kellen Wall. Although Bryce and Kellen are songwriters themselves, they are looking for great, outside hit songs. The bar is high for this act. Marfa's music and style have a modern Americana dimension, blended with a country-folk sound mixed with a vintage pop element. Billboard highlighted their range from Everly Brothers-inspired folk-pop to buzzy Americana-rock, calling their music "daring, unpretentious and commercially accessible." Their ballad arrangements are spacious and relaxed, reminiscent of 70s love songs. Check out their songs "Daisy," "If It Ain't You," and "Run For My Money." I look forward to hearing your best songs, any tempo, for this truly amazing duo!

#2687- Ryan Larkins
A Street Pitch guest and music publisher who has already generated income for SongU members is listening to songs for Red Street Records artist Ryan Larkins.
About: CMA and ACM-nominated songwriter and Red Street Records recording artist Ryan Larkins recently released his latest single, "Love Flies" featuring multi-platinum recording artist Vince Gill. Larkins' classic storytelling and soulful lyricism remind listeners of life's truest lessons. The chorus sings, "He said whiskey fixes everything if it don't kill you first / Cigarettes are stupid / But bitterness is worse / Regret's a lousy dancer / And death is just a lie / If you're looking for the answers just look up at the sky / Fear sinks / Faith floats / And love flies."
Seeking: Ryan comes from a Southern Gospel and traditional Country Music background, with both genres heavily influencing who he is as an artist today. Vocally, Ryan has a classic country sound with a rich lower register and relaxed delivery. Ryan's influences include Randy Travis, Don Williams, Merle Haggard, and Dolly Parton. Submit songs in this vein, any tempo, from ballads to uptempos. Ryan has an energetic, dynamic side to his songs and artistry, and I would like to hear not only ballads but also mid- and up-tempo songs you feel would work for him. Also, think story-driven songs rooted in family, faith, and everyday life. Keep commercial country radio in mind to pitch this amazing Country artist! Before submitting your songs, familiarize yourself with his songs at https://www.ryanlarkins.com/
AI Guidelines: As per current copyright guidelines, this guest will only consider songs with 100% human-authored lyrics and 100% human-authored melodies. See https://songu.com/FAQAI-Guidelines.aspx. AI may be used for production or vocals with disclosure.
Additional AI Use Update: All our pitch guests are reporting that record labels, artists, and management are frequently asking song pluggers and publishers to provide a time-stamped original work tape version from the songwriter as proof of human authorship. If you use AI enhancements in your production, it is strongly suggested that you keep a copy of your original "work tape" demonstrating your original melody and lyrics, with a digital timestamp that predates the AI-produced version. Your work tape doesn't have to be professional-sounding. It can be as simple as you singing the melody and lyrics a cappella. Do not attach your work tape to this submission. If needed, the guest will ask you for it later.
Pitch Follow-up: If this guest expresses interest in your song, you will be asked to sign a single song agreement, executable only with a major cut.
