CMACarly Pearce’s country music dreams continue to come true: The Taylor Mill, Kentucky native played for a hometown crowd on Sunday night.
It was a full circle moment when Rascal Flatts’ Back to Us Tour pulled into Riverbend Music Center, not far from the part of Northern Kentucky where the “Every Little Thing” hitmaker was raised.
“Last night was an absolute dream!” Carly reflects. “I literally sat in those seats watching Rascal Flatts on stage for one of my first concerts.”
“Next to the Grand Ole Opry,” she continues, “Riverbend has been on a pedestal ever since I was a little girl and throughout the years seeing shows with my best friend Kara, who I reminisced with all day! This area shaped me into the person I am and the music that’s made so many memories.”
On Wednesday, Carly performs her latest hit, “Hide the Wine,” on ABC’s three-hour prime time CMA Fest special, which starts at 8 p.m. ET. An hour before, she’ll go live on her Facebook page, talking to fans and taking the stage at the Music City watch party at Ole Red Nashville.
