BMI and Sony Music Nashville/RCA Nashville’s Kane Brown celebrated his 13th career No. One “Backseat Driver” with the Music Row community on the rooftop of BMI Nashville on Wednesday (9/03). Written by Jordan Walker (BMI) and Jacob Davis (ASCAP) and produced by Dann Huff, the introspective single from his album The High Road continues Brown’s hitmaker streak as it marks his eighth consecutive Country radio chart-topper.

Hosted by BMI and ASCAP, Brown and the songwriters were surrounded by family and friends and each shared remarks. Championing the song’s sentiment, Walker was surprised by his family who traveled from Texas to celebrate his second No. One song. Davis thanked Brown from stage for bringing the song to life and shared some of his favorite stories in the car with his oldest daughter who inspired the song that was written five years ago.

Emceed by BMI’s MaryAnn Keen, Studio Bank’s Ron Cox made a special donation presentation on behalf of Brown and the songwriters in support of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
