BMI returned to LouFest last weekend for its fifth year of showcasing music’s hottest up-and-coming acts at the St. Louis festival. This year’s festival was attended by record breaking crowds, many of whom gathered at the BMI stage for performances from a stellar lineup of BMI artists including Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Lizzo, local favorites 18andCounting and Lollapalooza’s BMI stage veteran Ron Gallo.
