Creative Artists Agency (CAA) hosted its 28th annual CAA Nashville BBQ at GEODIS Park, the city’s new soccer stadium, on June 6. Held in celebration of CMA Fest, the event raised funds for Communities in Schools of Tennessee at Nashville and PENCIL, organizations supporting students at local public schools.
Plenty of star-studded guests were in attendance at the barbecue, including Brett Young, Jon Pardi, Lauren Alaina, Maddie & Tae, Priscilla Block, Drew Holcomb, Jelly Roll, Niko Moon, Jake Long, Filip Forsberg, Rex Ryan, CAA Nashville co-founder John Huie, and CAA Nashville Music Co-Heads Brian Manning, Marc Dennis, Jeff Krones, and Darin Murphy.
“It’s been three years since we were last able to gather for one of our favorite events of the year so we were beyond excited to get together again after all this time,” shares Krones, Co-Head of CAA Nashville Music. “We are grateful for the funds raised in support of Communities in Schools of Tennessee and PENCIL – two causes near and dear to our hearts.”
“For nearly three decades, our music colleagues have hosted this extraordinary event, which brings together our clients, colleagues and business partners in one of the most dynamic and energized sports and entertainment markets in the U.S.,” adds Howard Nuchow, Co-Head, CAA Sports. “We are thrilled to join them in celebrating this special week of country music, and are proud to do so at the incredible GEODIS Park, which our colleagues at CAA ICON helped bring to fruition.”
Nashville’s GEODIS Park is the largest soccer-specific stadium in the U.S. and Canada, featuring 30,000 seats. It officially opened its doors for Nashville SC’s first home match on May 1. CAA ICON oversaw development, design, and construction as Owner’s Representative for Nashville Soccer Holdings, owner of Nashville SC.
