Fort Nash launched The Fort by Fort Nash this week, a five-day, invite-only country lifestyle and culture clubhouse where Nashville’s finest music, food, fashion, creative culture and live storytelling collide.

To kick off Music City’s biggest week, The Fort by Fort Nash’s kickoff party featured performances from Ashley Cooke, Dasha, Mason Ramsey, VAVO and Gareth, with Logan Crosby hosting the festivities. Through digital series, artist interviews, music discovery, and more, Fort Nash has become a voice for all things Southern lifestyle in music and beyond, and the brand is bringing that cultural movement to life with The Fort by Fort Nash, redefining modern country lifestyle for a new generation.

Guests also enjoyed a portrait studio, Yeehaw Caviar, a wellness bar, premium grab bags, catering by Craig’s, and a mechanical bull courtesy of Orinda. Orinda kept the party going with a takeover performance featuring Eric Van Houten, David J, Nic D and Connor Price before SEV took over to end the night with a high-energy DJ set.

Highlights from the night included Josh Ross joining attendees for a celebratory shot ski moment set to his music; Cooke serenading the Cowboy Cannoli’s Caviar Cowboy on stage with her song “baby blues”; Dasha taking a spin on the mechanical bull, and more.

“We are incredibly excited to launch The Fort by Fort Nash,” says Chris Ruediger. “This immersive experience is designed to bring our community together while creating meaningful cultural and digital impact. We know this marks the beginning of a long-standing experience that will continue to grow and evolve for years to come.”

The Fort by Fort Nash will run throughout CMA Fest weekend June 3- 7 and feature special programming that highlights country culture, including rethought Southern food, gamified tailgate challenges, sports‑style podcasts, wellness moments, surprise performances, and creator‑led micro‑moments shared across social platforms. Fort Nash will wrap its week with Faith at The Fort on Sunday, (June 7.) The event will include a live worship service with performances from Ben Fuller, Belle Franz, Jamie MacDonald, Jordan Rowe, Rebecca Brunner, Christian Hohn and Iveth Luna, and alongside prayer led by Cam J and a sermon fromCrosspoint Church College Pastor Nate Farley.
