Summer is near, which means BMI’s signature “Rooftop On The Row” series is back. Earlier this week, the PRO hosted rising singer-songwriters Priscilla Block and Chayce Beckham, who performed for industry professionals at BMI’a Music Row office.

The inclement weather didn’t stop the party, which was presented by George Dickel Bourbon. Industry members listened to sets from Block and Beckham while enjoying free food and drinks, provided by the event’s sponsors ONErpm, Cumulus 103.3 Country, Daou Vineyards, Liquid Death, Red Bull, Texas Roadhouse, Topo Chico, White Claw and Studio Bank.

As DJ Smoke set the tone for this year’s second installment of “BMI’s Rooftop On The Row,” BMI’s Josh Tomlinson and Cumulus’ Elaina Smith introduced Beckham to the stage where he performed songs such as “I’ll Take the Bar” and “Doin’ It Right” off his debut EP. He followed that with his RIAA Gold certified new single, “23” that has garnered 145 million streams to date, as well as the most recent release “Till The Day I Die,” which recently made its television debut on American Idol.

Block continued the momentum as she opened with “My Bar” and kept the crowd engaged with her 11-song set. Highlights included fan-favorites such as “Thick Thighs” and “Like A Boy,” along with a special rendition of her new single “You, Me and Whiskey” featuring Justin Moore.

In its fifth season, BMI’s “Rooftop On The Row” series returns July 18 with headliners Mackenzie Carpenter and Dylan Marlowe, followed by a 50th Anniversary celebration for hip-hop on Aug. 15. The final event on Sept. 19 will serve as the official kickoff to Americanafest, with performers for the final two shows to be announced soon.
