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 country newcomer Zandi Holup.
She made a splash in 2021 with her song “Wait For You” and followed it up with the hit “Gas Station Flowers”! You can catch her on the road with acts such as 49 Winchester, Jamey Johnson, and Ian Munsick.

She sat down to discuss her journey, being vulnerable in her songs, and how one bad day turned into a viral hit!
