The 51st annual CMA Festival is currently underway in downtown Nashville!
From Thursday to Sunday, roughly 90,000 country music fans hit Broadway to see all their favorite artists and future up-and-comers.
We got the chance to sit down with one of the industry’s brightest new stars and our friend Austin Williams.
He is a Tennessee boy who grew up in a tobacco-farming family.
Austin talked about his rural roots, recovering from spinal surgery, how his hit “90s Rap Mashup” came to be, and his upcoming release— “Quitter”
