Kacey Musgraves and Willie Nelson played the kick-off party, bringing to life the collaboration that’s featured on “Are You Sure” on Kacey’s Pageant Material album. Thomas Rhett’s dad, Rhett Akins, as well as Bob DiPiero, Jeffrey Steele and Rebecca Lynn Howard were just some of the tunesmiths who suffered in the sun in the name of songwriting.
This was the first year for the festival. No word so far on whether BMI may do it again next year.
