Well that definitely puts the ASCAP end of it on the event itself. Which isn’t totally unusual.
But it still seems to be referring to an ASCAP performance/exhibition license of the same sort.
Which tend to be blanket, and involves dealing with ASCAP rather than the artist themselves or their publisher or label.
When I used do webcasting and video production work for large corporate events. That end of it was not really our job, but that licensing was often still facilitated by the venue. If we booked that (like studio for off sight) it would be passed through on our quoting.
Though rights to repost video featuring any music used was not. That was just on the client.
So again it isn’t really something an artist has control of. They not may be aware, or be able to be aware.
Which makes a lot more sense when you consider one of things these licenses cover. Is stuff like some one hooking up their personal music player and hitting shuffle for just room music.
Any given song use may not specifically be planned, or controlled. Not enough to individually licence all the music you may be “performing” or exhibiting.
