The Peach Pickers, (Rhett Akins, Dallas Davidson and Ben Hayslip), have helped fellow Georgian Luke Bryan hit No. 1 seven times, with hits like his current single “Kick the Dust Up,” as well as “Dirt Road Diary,” “Country Girl (Shake It for Me),” “I Don’t Want This Night to End,” “Play It Again,” “Rain Is a Good Thing,” and “That’s My Kind of Night.”

The Pickers will play in-the-round Aug. 1 at the Country Music Hall of Fame, performing some of those tunes in support of the museum’s new exhibit Luke Bryan: Dirt Road Diary.

The program is included in museum admission and is free to museum members and will be streamed on countrymusichalloffame.org/streaming.
