Brett Eldredge will headline Nashville’s big Fourth of July Celebration

The city of Nashville has looked to Brett Eldredge to headline its huge Fourth of July celebration.  The event is free and open to the public!  The entertainment bill also includes songwriter Mac McAnally and soul singer Jessy Wilson.

This year the performance will also air live on CMT, giving all the people who can’t get to Nashville a chance to check out the fun. The show will feature the Nashville Symphony’s celebrated 30-minute performance, which syncs up to one of the nation’s largest public fireworks displays, stationed on the other side of the Cumberland River.

Brett Eldredge will perform from a stage set up at 5th a Broadway in Nashville. The free public celebration is one of the largest in the city — last year more than 250,000 locals and tourists attended, the second-most after 284,000 attended in 2014.
