Country artists and social media sensations connected with Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores to share original content while backstage at the ACM Party For A Cause Festival, which was held April 1-3 in Las Vegas. The multimedia event was produced by FlyteVu, a Nashville-based company co-founded by Jeremy Holley and Laura Hutfless in October 2015.
The Content Creator Studio, part of the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Spotlight Music program, hosted several popular social media stars as they conducted exclusive interviews with country music’s top artists during the festival. Frankie Ballard, Kelsea Ballerini, Kellie Pickler, RaeLynn, Canaan Smith, Cole Swindell, The Band Perry, and Chris Young were just a few of those artists checking out the event.
Music fans and festival goers can find these exclusive interviews, photos and videos on Cracker Barrel’s website and many of the brand’s other channels, including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
