On 9/17, BMI hosted the final installment of this year’s Rooftop on the Row series, presented by George Dickel, with nearly 800 attendees. The event—emceed by BMI’s Mason Hunter—served as the official kickoff to the 25th annual AMERICANAFEST.
Featuring performances by The Hanseroth Twins, Kade Hoffman and Emily Nenni, the evening was headlined by Island’s Wyatt Flores, who opened with “Orange Bottles” and “Running Out of Time,” before playing fan favorites like “Please Don’t Go” and “Milwaukee.” He also performed “Don’t Wanna Say Goodnight,” “Oh Susannah” and his unreleased track “Welcome to the Plains” from his upcoming album.
Throughout season six, performers included Colbie Caillat, Jackson Dean, Mae Estes, Ella Langley, Ryan Larkins, Redferrin, Josh Ross and Lauren Watkins. Past years have also seen the likes of Morgan Wallen, Billy Strings, The War and Treaty, HARDY, K. Michelle, Riley Green, Maddie & Tae, Mackenzie Carpenter and Dylan Marlowe.
