STEVE BLOCH
Top Pitch Priorities for June, and July 2025!
Chris Young
Newly signed to Black River Entertainment! They are looking to make a big splash this year. Think career defining songs like
"Til you Can't" by Cody Johnson or "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack.
Cody Johnson
Cody's team is currently looking hard for "song of the year" material. Check out his songs like "Dirt Cheap" and "The Painter" to hear some great examples. As a publisher, Steve has landed three Cojo cuts! Way to go, Steve!
Dolly Parton**
Songs for Dolly need to have a positive, inspirational message that can relate to audiences of all faiths. She's looking for big themes and songs with strong choruses. She is also looking for songs that support her legacy of inclusion.
**Note - Steve continues to meet with Dolly's producer to play him any hit songs he finds through the SongTuner!
Tanya Tucker
Still looking for typical great songs that Tanya can really sink her teeth into. Her producer is looking at possible duets for her as well.
Steve says she's open to everything from sassy up-tempo to heartfelt, meaty lyrics. Age-appropriate, please!
New Male Country Artist (#1)
Think "outlaw attitude" ala early Jason Aldean. The guy has a killer twangy voice and also writes, so ideas and lyrics have to be out of the ordinary.
New Male Country Artist (#2)
Think Southern rock with a Steve Perry vocal range!
Scotty Hasting
Currently looking for great, meaningful songs. Up-tempos are strongly preferred.
Always Looking For...
Notes from Steve - "I'm always looking for excellent country songs, male or female, that "ring true". Songs with HEART. Honestly, something McGraw or Garth would probably cut. Simply put, I have avenues for GREAT songs!"

NOTE: IMPORTANT INFORMATION RE: AI GENERATED SONG PITCHES
TO WASHINGTON STREET PUBLISHING
Clarification on AI Generated Demos
Hey everyone, we mistakenly left out an important requirement for all sync-related pitches to Nancy Peacock (Washington Street Publishing). Please read below for their demo requirements for TV & film placement. If you have any questions or need further assistance, send an email to: thesongtuner@comcast.net
**Washington Street Publishing AI Policy**
We understand Artificial Intelligence can be a great tool for pre-production of a song, experimenting with styles, etc., but as songwriters and supporters of songwriters, we are not in favor of using AI to compose a song (lyrics or melody). That may change in the future but based on the current copyright office report, we can only represent songs that have entirely human-created
Disclosure: When pitching songs to our company, you must disclose any use of AI in the creation of a song (lyrics or melody), or if you used AI in the production of the recording, vocals, etc.
Pitching Songs for Sync Licensing in TV, Film, & Commercial Advertisement
Unfortunately, no AI-generated songs, vocals, or demos (sound recordings) will be accepted as sync-ready. Please see below:
a.) If you wrote both the lyrics and the melody but used AI for demo purposes, you may present it for review purposes only. However, if we are interested in pitching the song for sync licensing, it must be professionally re-recorded for broadcast and sent back to us for final approval.
b.) If a song is being pitched for another artist to record, and we think the AI demo is appropriate, we can pitch it as is.
