Brett Eldredge
Warner Music Nashville and friends celebrated a classic evening with Brett Eldredge, who performed classic Sinatra songs along with his powerful ballad “One Mississippi.” The event was held at Nashville’s The Sutler last night (Dec. 9).
After noshing on hors d’oeuvres and schmoozing during a festive cocktail hour, lucky fine-dressed attendees enjoyed an hour-long performance which included favorites such as “Fly Me to the Moon” and “Come Rain Or Come Shine.” The late night soiree hosted by John Esposito, President/CEO of Warner Music Nashville, offered everyone a ‘grand’ time as an honorary member of the Brat Pack.
Before heading on stage, Eldredge posed with WMN execs and management for an authentic “mafia” style family photo.
