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 were able to catch up with Madeline Merlo.
She is one of Canada’s brightest new country stars with accomplishments ranging from 2015’s Canadian Country Music Association’s Rising Star Award, winning Songland in 2020, and is one of CMT’s 2024 Next Women of Country Class.
We spoke with her about playing CMA Fest for the second time, her musical journey, and some of her latest hits!
