(NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Oct. 29, 2026) Backstage Access Presents: Music City has announced a special Atlantic Outpost showcase featuring Stella Lefty, Charley Crockett, Briley King, and additional artists to be announced. The brunch showcase will take place on Nov. 18.
Marking the label’s first industry event during CMA Awards week, the showcase will bring its artists and industry partners together alongside Backstage Access Presents for a celebration of live music and connection.
“We’re excited to host Atlantic Outpost’s first industry event during CMA Awards week and bring our artists and industry partners together alongside Backstage Access,” said Stephanie Hagerty, Senior Vice President of Atlantic Outpost.
The Atlantic Outpost showcase adds to a Music City program featuring performances and appearances from Lauren Alaina, Lee Brice, Carly Pearce, Chase Rice, Flatland Cavalry, Matt Stell, Charlie Worsham and more.
Through intimate showcases, songwriter rounds, shared meals, elevated hospitality, and behind-the-scenes access, Backstage Access Presents: Music City will bring artists together with radio programmers, music supervisors, talent buyers, industry leaders, brand partners, and tastemakers during one of country music’s biggest weeks. Designed to move beyond the traditional festival or conference model, the gathering creates space for music discovery, conversation, and relationships to develop naturally in intimate settings throughout Nashville.
The Music City installment builds on the foundation established by Backstage Access Presents: Napa Valley, which debuted in April with artists including Parker McCollum, Shinedown, Grace Potter, Ty Myers, The 502s, George Birge, Maggie Rose, Thelma & James and Emily Ann Roberts, among others. Set among Napa Valley’s wineries and estates, the inaugural gathering paired intimate performances with culinary and wine experiences, offering artists and industry guests opportunities to connect in a relaxed setting.
Bringing that same spirit of discovery and hospitality to Nashville, Backstage Access Presents: Music City draws on the city’s listening rooms, songwriter culture, iconic venues and deep music industry roots. The three-day program will give guests a closer look at the artists, stories, and people shaping country music today.
Longtime music industry executive Bobbii Jacobs launched Backstage Access Presents as a destination-driven series pairing live music with distinctive settings and thoughtfully curated experiences. Each installment reflects its host destination while creating opportunities for artists, industry partners and tastemakers to build lasting relationships.
Additional programming, partners, and event details will be announced in the coming weeks.
