Did you hear that roar coming from Nashville, Tennessee? That’s the sound of the incredible American Idol family reuniting!
The massive country music celebration known as CMA Fest just took over the city, and your favorite singers from the show rocked the house during a giant, free concert.
19 Recordings hosted the big bash at a fun venue called 6th and Peabody.
Fans were thrilled to see the musicians perform live on stage once again. The huge crowd enjoyed fantastic performances from the recent season’s big winner, Hannah Harper, and the amazing runner-up, Jordan McCullough. But they weren’t alone!
Many other talented friends from the show joined in to make the night unforgettable.
