Additional performances featured in the primetime special will include Bentley with Breland and Hardy live from Bentley’s Whiskey Row nightclub on Broadway, Eric Church from the center of the city’s John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge overlooking the Cumberland River, and Darius Rucker taking the outdoor stage at Nashville’s brand new Fifth & Broadway complex downtown.

“I am still grinning ear to ear from these last two nights of incredible live Country Music,” says Sarah Trahern, CMA CEO. “Seeing artists finally return to the stage and the reaction from fans was absolutely electric. Viewers are in for such a treat from familiar superstars and fresh new faces when CMA Summer Jam airs on Sept. 2 on ABC.”
