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 Georgia boy, former barrel racer, and our friend Alex Hall!
Alex grew up on a horse farm and also spent time in the rodeo world. After a rough 2019 and 2020, he is finally catching a wave and leaving his mark on Nashville, TN.

We spoke about his rural roots, his song “Side Effects of the Heart,” and his marriage.
