Luke Bryan Celebrates at Fan Party and Number One Party 

Luke Bryan spent a full day celebrating his fans and Music Row during CMA Fest. His day began hosting a fan club party for his Nuthouse fans where he celebrated their 10th year and performed a private acoustic concert.

Then Luke was the CMA Artist of the Day at Xfinity Fan Fair X on the CMA Close Up Stage. Luke talked about his award-winning “What Makes You Country Tour” with Live Nation’s Brian O’Connell as well as the first season of American Idol with iHeartRadio personality and Idol mentor Bobby Bones. American Idol winner Maddie Poppe also joined the panel and surprised the crowd with a performance.

Luke ended his day with a triple #1 party co-hosted by BMI, ASCAP, and Global Music Rights. Luke celebrated his three recent #1 singles with his co-writers on “Move” (Luke Bryan, Michael Carter and Jay Clementi), “Fast” (Luke Bryan, Rodney Clawson, and Luke Laird) and “Light It Up” (Luke Bryan and Brad Tursi).

“Hard to believe you can have this much fun chasing a dream,” said Luke during the #1 party. “I’m so lucky to wake up every day and be surrounded by this community of Nashville. This is the stuff memories are made of!”

Just before Luke closed out CMA Fest at Nissan Stadium, he surprised two fans with tickets to the Chevy suite as they answered trivia questions about him.  Watch the video below.
