His songs have been recorded by artists ranging from Andy Williams to Hank Williams Jr., from Kenny Rogers to cowboy hero Roy Rogers. Regan was a three-term President of the Board of the Nashville Songwriters Association International and also served as Legislative Chair. In that role in 2006, he helped pass the Songwriters Capital Gains Tax Equity Act. Regan also taught as an adjunct professor at Belmont University in the inaugural year of their songwriting program. In 2012, after performing on several Armed Forces Entertainment tours at military bases around the world, Regan founded Operation Song™, a program which brings professional songwriters together with veterans and active duty military to help them tell their stories through songs. As of 2020, there have been over 800 songs written in the program with active duty military, veterans of WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan as well as with their families. The songs have been performed on the National Mall in Washington DC on Memorial Day and Veterans Day, on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, and on radio and television programs worldwide.
