Langley kicked off the evening with “Paint the Town Blue,” followed by two unreleased tracks “Better Be Tough” and “Cowgirl Don’t Cry” from her debut album, Hungover, out Aug. 2. Langley surprised the crowd by welcoming Kameron Marlowe onstage for their current single “Strangers,” and treated everyone to a solo rendition of her viral hit with Riley Green, “You Look Like You Love Me.”

DJ Smoke kept the energy high between each set, and BMI’s Mason Hunter served as emcee. Free food and beverages were provided by the evening’s sponsors Delta Air Lines, Gallagher Insurance, ONErpm, Red Bull Jukebox, Texas Roadhouse, Topo Chico, White Claw and Yeti.

Redferrin closed out the night with a blend of traditional country and modern influences. The Tennessee native performed tracks from his debut EP, Old No.7, such as “Lose Her For Nothin,'” “Champagne In The Morning” and “Just Like Johnny,” which has already garnered 30 million streams. He also teased a string of unreleased songs, including “As Long As There’s A Bar.”

Presented by George Dickel, the “Rooftop On The Row” series returns on Aug. 13 with Josh Ross and Lauren Watkins. The final event on Sept. 17 will officially kick off AmericanaFest. Those set to perform will be announced in the coming weeks.
