NASHVILLE, May 16, 2012 – BMI will help make downtown Nashville’s beloved celebration of all things Country Music even bigger with the introduction of the BMI Tailgate Party at the 2012 CMA Music Festival, Thursday, June 7 through Sunday, June 10. Located right off the Cumberland River outside LP Field, the new stage will feature BMI’s rising stars, songwriters behind the hits, honky tonk heroes and guitar gods, and serving as rowdy warm-ups before the nightly headliner shows at LP Field.

A few Georgia boys and one Kansan joined me today for what I would call a big ol' party!  Check it out below if you missed it or want to relive it!

Country newcomer Tyler Farr is having fun watching his debut single ‘Hot Mess‘ climb the country charts. The laid-back song about a girl that has it all together on the surface has found a place in the hearts of fans nationwide, and now the singer has released a new acoustic version of the song — with video. Watch Farr sing along in this clip, which is a Taste of Country exclusive premiere.
