Luke Combs BMI Party Kicks Off CMA Fest 2022

By on June 10, 2022 in Music, Special Events, The Latest

After a 2 year halt, CMA Fest kicked things off with a high energy parking lot show on Music Row at the legendary BMI Nashville headquarters, celebrating the massively successful run of number one songs from Luke Combs.  

Combs wanted to kick off CMA Fest this year with a No. 1 party unlike any before — and all were invited. 

The perennial hitmaker celebrated his eight consecutive chart-topping country radio hits June 8 with a one-night concert from the BMI parking lot in Nashville’s Music Rowneighborhood. The show happened a day before A-list country entertainers take up a four-night residency in downtown Nashville with the return of CMA Fest.

Combs was joined onstage by openers Hailey Whittier’s , Drew Parker and fellow songwriters Randy Montana, James McNair, Dan Isbell, Thomas Archer, Wyatt Durrette, Ray Fulcher, Shane Minor, Tyler Reeve, Jonathan Singleton and Rob Williford. The collaborators performed Combs’ seven chart-toppers from the 2019 “What You See Is What You Get” album: “Beer Never Broke My Heart,” “Even Though I’m Leaving,” “Does to Me,” “Lovin’ on You,” “Better Together,” Forever After All” and “Cold as You,” as well as “Beautiful Crazy” from the deluxe version of his debut album, “This One’s For You Too.”

Proceeds from the BMI Parking Lot Party benefited the BMI Foundation, a nonprofit that supports the creation, performance and study of music through awards, scholarships, grants and commissions.

The event was a huge success, proving that country music supporters desire to connect with one another through live performances and engagement. The future looks bright, not only for CMA Fest, but for all live music events and festivals  rebuilding and reconnecting the listeners and artists, giving hope to an industry and culture that has suffered a huge loss after a long anticipated comeback.

NASHVILLE, TN (April 26, 2022) – With a passion for music and animals, TYLER RICH brings energy and empathic spirit to both. Last night (4/26) the California-raised, Nashville-rooted singer/songwriter led a round called WRITERS FOR RHINOS alongside ANDY ALBERT (Blake Shelton’s “She’s Got A Way With Words” + Dustin Lynch’s No. 1 “Good Girl”); CJ SOLAR (chart-toppers Morgan Wallen “Up Down” featuring Florida Georgia Line + Jameson Rodgers “Some Girls”); AIMP Nashville Songwriter Series class of 2019 EMILY FALVEY (Canadian No. 1 MacKenzie Porter’s “Seeing Other People” + upcoming cuts for Pitbull, Walker Hayes, Carly Pearce) and TRENT TOMLINSON (“Drunker Than Me,” “One Wing in the Fire,” “Just Might Have Her Radio On” + Brett Young’s No. 1 “In Case You Didn’t Know”). The esteemed tunesmiths sold out the annual event at The Listening Room in Nashville, which supports rhino conservation in partnership with the Nashville Chapter of the American Association of Zookeepers, Rich Rescues and Nashville Zoo Roar Corps. Donate here.

“Now in our third year, we could not be more thrilled to have such a talented group of musicians lend their voices to help save an endangered species. WRITERS FOR RHINOS is such an important fundraising event for our mission to protect Rhinos for generations to come, and we want to express our sincere gratitude to Tyler, Andy, CJ, Emily, Trent and all who joined for this special event,” said ASHLEY COLLIER-MEDLEY, WRITERS FOR RHINOS Founder.

Tyler has commanded the charts with three No. 1 hits on SiriusXM’s The Highway and has amassed over 365 million global streams with his GOLD-certified single “The Difference,” TikTok earwarm “Better Than You’re Used To” and The Cadillac Three’s Jaren Johnston-produced “A Little Bit of You.” His music embodies the feelings all people have in common – the need for acceptance, devotion and a place to call their own. That compassionate outlook extends to animals too with an initiative he began while on tour to raise awareness for pet adoption called with Rich Rescues.

“I’ve never tried to save a Rhino, but I’m happy to be a part of it. They are kind of like Pitbull unicorns,” said Tyler jovially addressing the capacity room. “In all seriousness, the need to protect animals whether it be at your local shelter or more exotic species across the globe is real and a big reason I started Rich Rescues to advocate out on tour. Any time I can support this cause, I’m all in.”

About Folds of Honor
It began with Lieutenant Colonel Dan Rooney’s flight home from his second tour of duty in Iraq. An F-16 fighter pilot in the Oklahoma Air National Guard, he became painfully aware of the realities families face when a loved one in uniform is fallen or disabled. As his flight landed, the pilot announced they carried the remains of Corporal Brock Bucklin on board. Lt. Colonel Rooney watched as Corporal Bucklin’s twin brother walked somberly alongside the flag-covered casket to meet his family on the tarmac. Among them was the deceased Corporal’s young son, Jacob. Since that night, Lt Col Rooney has committed his life – through the Folds of Honor – to provide scholarships to spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled service members. Jacob Bucklin became the first Folds of Honor scholarship recipient in 2007.
