CAA held its annual pre-CMA Fest BBQ Monday night (June 4) at Martin’s BBQ in Nashville. The event, which included agents and executives from across the agency, clients, and industry colleagues, raised more than $30,000 for two organizations with whom the agency has a longstanding relationship: Communities In Schools of Tennessee at Nashville and the PENCIL Foundation, both of which support students at local public schools. Among those in attendance were Midland, Jon Pardi, and This Is Us actress Chrissy Metz.
