BMI kicked off the fifth season of their Rooftop on the Row series earlier this week with a genre-blending performance by singer-songwriter K. Michelle.

The event, presented by George Dickel Bourbon, was emceed by BMI Nashville’s Executive Director, Creative Shannon Sanders and offered an exclusive first look at BMI’s notable rising talent. K. Michelle made her Nashville performance debut during the 2023 kickoff show, offering the crowd a sultry rendition of her catalog including “Come As You Are” and “Jack Daniels.” The rising newcomer is putting the finishing touches on her upcoming album due out later this year, and is currently on the road for her “I’m The Problem Tour.”

BMI’s Rooftop on the Row series returns May 16 with headliners Priscilla Block and Chayce Beckham, followed by Mackenzie Carpenter and Dylan Marlowe on July 18. A celebration for the 50th anniversary of hip-hop is set for Aug. 15, and the final event will serve as the official kickoff to Americanafest on Sept. 19, with performers for both shows to be announced soon.
