Backstage Access Presents, a destination-driven live music and networking event series, will hold a three-day Nashville event Nov. 15-18, according to the announcement. Backstage Access Presents: Music City will feature performances and appearances from Lee Brice, Carly Pearce, Chase Rice, Flatland Cavalry, Matt Stell, Charlie Worsham and a roster of additional artists and industry figures.
The event follows the series’ inaugural Napa Valley edition in April, which included appearances from Parker McCollum, Shinedown, Grace Potter and others alongside radio programmers, music supervisors and brand partners. The Nashville installment is built around the city’s songwriter culture and venues, with programming including live showcases, songwriter rounds, private Music Row gatherings and late-night events, culminating in a private watch party during CMA Awards night.
The series was founded by music executive Bobbii Jacobs, who said in the announcement that the goal is to create settings where artists, industry decision-makers and guests can build relationships outside of traditional conference or festival formats. Additional programming and partners for the Nashville event are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
