Billboard Presents Bud Light Backyard at CMA Fest Kicks Off With Electrifying Sets From Corey Kent, Dalton Dover and Alana Springsteen


The event featured top-notch sets by Corey Kent, Dalton Dover and Alana Springsteen.

The beer and music were flowing at the first day of Billboard Presents Bud Light Backyard at CMA Fest as fans took a break from the Nashville heat and took in some great performances by some of today’s hottest hitmakers at a jammed Tin Roof on Lower Broadway on Friday (June 7). Image Credit: Mary Hannah Harte Corey Kent opened the first day of performances with a high-octane set that launched with the romantic “Gold,” before completely switching emotional tracks and jumping into an impassioned, despairing version of current single, “This Heart.” He segued into “Night to Go,” a swaying toe-tapper, before slowing it down with the lush, sensual “Baby I Am.” Dover then returned to covers, this time with a soulful, muscular version of Alicia Keys’ “If I Ain’t Got You,” which he declared was one of his favorite songs, as he led a group singalong.
