Big Spark Music Group held a listening event Thursday (Aug. 4) at Nashville bar Old Glory to celebrate the release of its flagship artist Olivia Lane‘s digital EP. The self-titled project was released on July 29.
Before Lane offered remarks, Big Spark Music Group’s VP/GM Dennis Kurtz welcomed guests, noting the project has been in the works for three years.
“I’m not performing tonight, just drinking,” teased Lane. “Just to clarify, I haven’t got to celebrate because I’ve been on the road for the last month, so tonight’s a celebration!”
