You can read our review of each of the four nights of this year's festival right here.
Reflecting on the monumental experience, Jelly Roll shared, “Stepping onto the stage in front of 50,000 people to host CMA Fest at Nissan Stadium in my hometown of Nashville was indescribable. The magnitude of the moment really hit me, to be across the street from the juvenile detention center I was in and to now be on stage hosting—how do you describe being in the same exact place while being in a place that couldn’t be more different, at the same time.”
Ashley McBryde echoed the sentiment, “When my buddy Jelly Roll and I walked out into this massive crowd and felt the electric energy for the first time, it felt important. We were nervous! But it also felt good, because at the root of it all, it’s just me and my pal cutting up, only we’re doing it on national television for CMA Fest.”
