Hosted by BMI’s Shannon Sanders, DJ Trucker and guest DJ Magic set the tone for the evening as Thomas warmed up the crowd. Nashville local Nycole followed, bringing her contemporary sound to the stage. Young Guy kept spirits high before headliner 803Fresh made his BMI rooftop debut showcasing his gospel and R&B roots.
