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 caught up with one of country music’s brightest new stars, Dylan Schneider!
Dylan has been on a roll since returning to CMA Fest, performing at the Grand Ole Opry, and performing at Stagecoach in California for the first time!

He talked to us about his musical journey, performing his vulnerable song “Daddy Drinks Whiskey” for the first time, and his latest EP— Bad Decisions.
