BMI launched into the seventh season of its signature series, Rooftop On The Row, presented by George Dickel Whisky, on April 28 with buzzing newcomers Thomas Edwards, Colt Graves and THEBROSFRESH. The invitation-only event offered more than three hours of music as hundreds of industry guests took in the Music City skyline from BMI’s Nashville office. Attendees were offered complimentary cocktails, food and networking opportunities from this year’s sponsors, including George Dickel Whisky, Delta Air Lines, Fat Bottom Brewing Co., First Horizon, Gallagher Insurance, Red Bull Jukebox, Texas Roadhouse, White Claw, YETI, and Xperi.

DJ Smoke set the tone for the evening as BMI’s Mason Hunter introduced Edwards to the stage, where he performed “Nights I Can Remember,” “Whiskey Bottle Man” and “Friday Night 9-5.” Graves kicked off his set with “Burning House,” “Dirt on Me,” “Mug Shot,” and his collaboration with Timbaland “Cowboy Capone.” THEBROSFRESH closed out the evening with “Consent (It’s Been a While),” “Your Energy,” and “She Wants” from their latest EP, Same Leather.

Vincent Mason and Max McNown will take over on August 12, before the final event on September 17 which will serve as the official kickoff to AMERICANAFEST, with performers for the final show to be announced soon.

Michelle, Riley Green, Colbie Caillat, Wyatt Flores, Ella Langley, Maddie and Tae, LOCASH, Dylan Marlowe and Mitchell Tenpenny.
