The evening’s lineup also included Brothers Osborne, Sara Evans, Caylee Hammack and Ingrid Andress.
The balmy summer evening served as a perfect backdrop for a night of music to raise money for ACM Lifting Lives, the philanthropic arm of the Academy of Country Music. The organization offers aid to those in need, with a particular focus on supporting health-related initiatives. ACM Lifting Lives has also funded national music therapy programs that serve several mental and physical health organizations.
The evening featured its fair share of guitar slingers, from left-handed guitar virtuoso and “After a Few” singer Denning, to the bluesy riffs from Brothers Osborne’s John Osborne, and the fiery axe mastery of Paisley. Throughout the evening, much-beloved Nashville band Sixwire served as the house band for all of the performers.
Paisley wrapped with the quirky “Alcohol,” and gave the cluster of fans seated onstage a special treat, walking up behind them as they were taking selfies onstage and letting go with a blazing guitar riff. Given that the fans had pledged thousands of dollars for the privilege of sitting on stage, Paisley quipped, “This feels like a rich people’s party.
Throughout his performance, McCreery’s blend of a relatable-yet-professional show style afforded the singer-songwriter an affable camaraderie with the crowd as he also offered “You Time,” as well as his engagement-inspired hit “This Is It.” The intensely personal song, written about his longtime relationship with wife Gabi, was a tune he says he never intended to be on the radio.
