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 music newcomer, Cade Brinkley, also known as Lecade.
This Southern boy flew onto the scene with viral hits like “When I’m Gone” and recently signed a record deal and is now cutting his teeth.
He spoke about how growing up in a musical family influenced his journey, his multiple influences, and how he is maturing as an artist.
