The CMA hosted the Music Biz Brunch on May 10 during the annual Music Biz 2022 Conference at the JW Marriott hotel in Nashville.

O.N.E the Duo, comprised of mother Tekitha Washington and daughter Prana Supreme Diggs, took the stage alongside Dowling for a conversation on the intersectionality of storytelling in all genres, the dynamic of making music as mother and daughter and intentionality of their creative approach, as well as their experience writing and recording in Nashville.

Following the interview, the group treated the crowd to a stirring performance.

ACM Lifting Lives is awarding two grants in honor of Miranda Lambert in 2022, continuing a longstanding tradition of honoring each Entertainer of the Year winner by supporting their selected charities.

The $25,000 Entertainer of the Year grant will be split between two recipients, with $12,500 benefiting Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation and $12,500 benefiting Music Health Alliance’s Mental Health Fund. ACM Lifting Lives is also matching the donation to Music Health Alliance to coincide with mental health awareness month this May.

Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation has raised over $6 million since its inception to help promote the adoption of rescue pets, support animal shelters across the country, advance spay & neuter and assist with the transport of animals during times of natural disaster.
