Anne Wilson
Anne Wilson’s powerful voice and palpable on-stage energy got the Riverfront crowd moving on Saturday morning. Wilson’s love of country music and her connection to faith are intertwined. While interacting with the crowd, she explained “My mama raised me on two things - all things God and all things country.” Wilson passionately sang her songs “REBEL,” “God & Country,” “Songs About Whiskey” and “Strong” while feeling every word.

Lainey Wilson
Lainey Wilson energetically entered the Close Up stage, greeted a crowd of cheering fans and performed acoustic versions of “Country’s Cool Again” and “Hang Tight Honey.” Wilson doesn’t need a band to support her strong, pristine vocals and lively stage presence - her natural talent stands on its own. In an interview with surprise guest Keith Urban, Wilson showed off her fun, authentic personality while graciously reflecting on her passion for music.

Doleac expressed his passion through the sincere track “Coulda Loved You Longer,” which features an energetic drumbeat and funky electric guitar chords.

Chase McDaniel
On the last day of the CMA Fest, Chase McDaniel took to the Chevy Vibes Stage for a set full of storytelling and fun jams. Hailing from a small town in Kentucky, this singer quickly stole Nashville’s heart with his release of “Project” in May of 2022. Chase announced that he will be releasing new music this year and it left fans hopeful for another chart topping hit. We got a small glimpse at the new music with songs such as “Came Outta Nowhere” and “Heart Still Works”.

Alli Walker
Bringing “Bra Country” back, singer-songwriter Alli Walker made her CMA Fest debut at the Amp stage on Sunday, June 9th. Opening with “I Like Big Trucks”, Walker incorporated other truck-related country songs and got the audience singing along with HARDY’s “Truck Bed” and Lainey Wilson’s “Heart Like a Truck”. Rocking the crowd with her newest single “Dirt On Us” and debuting an unreleased song “Nashville” (written with Walker Hayes), Alli Walker is a country rockstar force to be reckoned with.

Tanner Adell
At the Riverfront stage, Tanner Adell’s electrifying presence stood strong from the beginning. She hyped up the crowd with upbeat performances of “Do-Si-Don’tcha,” “Backroad” and “FU150.” Adell slowed things down with the COWBOY CARTER rendition of “Blackbird,” which she recorded with Beyoncé. Her smoky vocals made for a tender delivery of “Luke Combs,” where she envisioned being the girl in her favorite country songs.
