On Wednesday, February 13, Nashville Lifestyles held its annual Music in the City event at FGL House.
This year's show was hosted by Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line and featured intimate, acoustic performances by HARDY, Canaan Smith, RaeLynn, and Morgan Wallen.
>>> MEET THE ARTISTS
A sold-out crowd of 450 attendees sipped on refreshing Shiner Beers and a signature Old Camp Whiskey cocktail while shopping an exclusive Tribe Kelley pop-up shop.
Florida Georgia Line took the stage to introduce their musical guests, answer a few questions, and share details about their new album, Can't Say I Ain't Country, out now.
"Personally, from me and Tyler, thank you to Nashville Lifestyles, thank you for having us in the magazine," Florida Georgia Line's Brian Kelley said. "It's been a dream to be on the cover and to be featured—it really does mean a lot."
HARDY started the night on the right note with two of his favorite hits, followed by Canaan Smithand RaeLynn. Headliner Morgan Wallen performed five songs, closing the show with a surprise performance with Florida Georgia Line, singing fan-favorite "Up Down."
"I’m very grateful that Florida Georgia Line partnered with us for this year's event to showcase emerging artists that are already big hits," added NL publisher Brian Barry. "And, the best part is, it’s all for a good cause."
A portion of the event proceeds will benefit the Global Action in Nursing (GAIN) Project, which aims to reduce preventable maternal and infant death during childbirth by providing clinical and leadership training to nurse-midwives in high-risk communities.
