It's been an exciting week in Nashville! The "biggest night in Country music", the CMA Country Music Association Awards, brought everyone to Music City to honor, celebrate, and recognize the incredible artists and songwriters making waves in Country music.
BMG's week-long festivities kicked off on Monday with a surprise celebration honoring superstar Blake Shelton's biggest radio add day ever ahead of the American Society of Composers, Authors & Publishers (ASCAP) and Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) awards ceremonies. The fun continued on Tuesday with BBR Music Group and BMG's 14th annual Pre-CMA Party, featuring performances from some of the biggest names in the industry, and on Wednesday with the CMA Awards.
From us at BMG, a huge congratulations goes to all the winners this week - Lainey Wilson, who won CMA Awards for "Female Vocalist of the Year" and "Music Video of the Year", Dan Wilson whose Chris Stapleton song ‘White Horse’ won both the CMA Award for "Song of the Year" and an ASCAP Country Music Award, Carly Pearce, Kurt Allison, and the late David Bowie who all additionally won ASCAP awards, and Kat Higgins, Chayce Beckham, Jelly Roll and Tully Kennedy who were honored during BMI’s 72nd Annual Country Awards.
A further congratulations goes to Lainey Wilson who not only hosted the CMA Awards but also performed two songs, Jelly Roll for his CMA performances, and Blake Shelton who performed during the BMI’s Annual Country Awards.
