Thomas Rhett surprised fans with an intimate “Secret Set” pop-up performance at Odie’s in Nashville last night (April 29) transforming the venue into a one-night-only live experience to kick off Live Nation’s “Summer of Live” celebration featuring a week of $30 tickets to shows across the U.S. and Canada.

The show was teased across social media in the days leading up to it, and the pop-up drew a line around the block and became standing-room-only inside. Rhett delivered a high-energy acoustic set of fan favorites, and standout moments included stripped-down performances of “Make Me Wanna,” “Look What God Gave Her,” “After All The Bars Are Closed,” “T-Shirt,” and “Die A Happy Man.” Jordan Davis also made a surprise appearance for the first-ever live performance of “Ain’t A Bad Life,” Rhett’s 25th career No. 1. Rhett also debuted a brand-new, unreleased track to the crowd.

The Nashville pop-up marks the first of a series of exclusive “Secret Set” performances tied to “Summer of Live.”.

The event builds on the momentum for Thomas Rhett’s upcoming “Soundtrack to Life Tour,” which kicks off July 7 in Nashville at GEODIS Park for a co-headline date with Niall Horan and continues throughout the summer.
