On May 14, BMI continued its tradition of showcasing exceptional new talent as the second installment of its signature Rooftop On The Row series, presented by George Dickel, featured Big Machine Label Group artists Jackson Dean and Mae Estes. Inclement weather did not hinder the highly anticipated event as more than 600 industry professionals gathered at BMI’s Nashville office. Attendees experienced free entertainment, music, and drinks provided by the night’s sponsors Delta Air Lines, ONErpm, Texas Roadhouse, Topo Chico, White Claw, and Gallagher Insurance.

In its sixth season, BMI’s Rooftop On The Row launched with a set from DJ Smoke before BMI’s Mason Hunter introduced Mae Estes to the stage. The Arkansas native introduced her innovative Country sound to the crowd as she delivered an honest rendition of her breakout hit “Thinkin’ Bout Cheatin,’” along with a rollicking performance of her new single “What I Shoulda Done.” She closed her set with a fierce take on Jessie J’s hit “Bang Bang.”

Following Estes, Dean kicked off his energetic set with “Trailer Park,” immediately followed by “Big Blue Sky” and “Heavens to Besty.” He kept the crowd on their feet for over an hour with songs like “1971” before capping off the night with his hit “Don’t Come Lookin’.”

BMI’s Rooftop On The Row series returns on July 16 with headliners Ella Langley and Redferrin, followed by Josh Ross and Lauren Watkins on August 13. The final event on September 17 will serve as the official kickoff to AMERICANAFEST, with performers for the final show to be announced soon. Over the years, the industry event has hosted artists such as Morgan Wallen, Billy Strings, The War And Treaty, HARDY, K. Michelle, Riley Green, Maddie & Tae, Mackenzie Carpenter, and Dylan Marlowe.
