Warner Music Nashville will host the 2015 season’s first Pickin’ On The Patio (PotP) party next week (Tuesday, May 19) featuring ACM New Artist of The Year winner Cole Swindell.

This will mark Swindell’s second time to open the series, which will include five shows through September, held on the fourth Wednesday of each month. During each performance, the Warner Music Nashville patio fills to capacity with Music Row friends and country music tastemakers to watch performances from artists signed to WMN and WORD labels.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and shows starts at 6 p.m. The next installment of Pickin’ On The Patio will be held on June 24. Sponsors include Aramark and Anheuser Busch.

“I’m extremely proud to continue the WMN Pickin’ On The Patio tradition for our sixth year in a row. The series marks the beginning of the busy summer touring schedule and is a great way to get some hang-time with our artists doing what they do best – playing music,” said Peter Strickland, EVP/GM at Warner Music Nashville. “Cole has made great strides in just one year, earning three No. 1 singles from his debut album and winning the coveted award for ACM’s New Artist of The Year last month.”
