Nashville becomes a real magical place when CMA Fest hits. You never know who will show up!

We ran into Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts and Grammy-nominated, philanthropist, hip-hop artist Akon, and asked them what it was like to team up for the song “Hold The Umbrella.”
We also spoke about Akon’s upcoming country album and how music is universal.
