This past week and weekend, Big Machine Records / Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment celebrated a massive CMA Fest with more than 15 artist appearances and events across Music City.

On Friday, June 5th, fans packed out Bell Bottoms Up rooftop for the label's annual Big Machine CMA Fest Pop-Up. The free event featured a full-band performance from The Band Perry, while Big Machine Records/Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment artists Greylan James, Caroline Jones, Hunter Flynn and Naomi Carman joined together for a writer's round-style showcase. Afterwards, two lucky individuals took home product from the Dan Post Boot Company giveaway and fans lined up for a meet-and-greet with the artists.
