Carnival Music & BMI Enjoy Hit Tunes Over Lunch

Singer/songwriter Blu Sanders kicked off the day’s music. Jack Ingram recorded Sanders’ “Hold On” for his latest album, This Is It.

Capitol recording artist Jedd Hughes’s stunning guitar-picking and soulful vocals shushed the crowd.

Songwriter Troy Jones performed his wry tune “Shiftwork,” which was recorded by reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Kenny Chesney and features Country Music Hall of Famer George Strait.

Heather Little performed Miranda Lambert’s current single, “Gun Powder and Led.” Little co-wrote the tune with Lambert, along with the Texan’s breakout hit, “Me and Charlie.”

Esteemed singer/songwriter Bruce Robison treated listeners to a prime selection of his incomparable tunes including “First Thing About Mary,” “Travelin’ Soldier,” and “Oklahoma Christmas.”
