by Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp

Multi-platinum Country superstar Dierks Bentley will headline Let Freedom Sing! Music City July 4th presented by Dr Pepper. The downtown event will present one of the country’s largest July 4th fireworks and drone shows synchronized to live music from the GRAMMY-winning Nashville Symphony. Let Freedom Sing! will feature the free Amazon Family Fun Zone and include inflatables and live music on the Southwest Airlines Stage. The concert and fireworks and drone show are free and open to the public. The event drives significant economic activity, supporting local businesses, generating tax revenue and boosting tourism across the city.

Bentley will be joined on the Jack Daniel’s Broadway Stage by a lineup that showcases diverse musical influences, including multi-platinum sensation Russell Dickerson—known for his high-energy live shows and recent viral hit “Happen To Me,” along with chart-toppers like “Yours” and “Blue Tacoma;” Niko Moon, noted for his blend of laid-back coastal vibes and country and pop influences, as well as his multi-platinum single “Good Time;” and Grace Bowers & The Hodge Podge. Bowers is an 18-year-old, award-winning guitarist, songwriter and bandleader whose independent release of her debut album Wine on Venus combines funk, soul, blues, and rock.

Just ahead of the July 4th celebration, Bentley will release his 11th studio album BROKEN BRANCHES on June 13 (Capitol Records Nashville). Whittling down his essential sound to its rooted and most resolute, the album finds a proud broken branch celebrating the outliers of country life – and of country music. The eleven songs embrace unruly characters wherever they’re found, ultimately adding beauty to the whole, and is available now for pre-order.

The Amazon Family Fun Zone at Music City Walk of Fame Park will offer family-friendly activities during the day with a multi-genre lineup of music on the Southwest Airlines Stage that includes Walker Montgomery, The Nashville Soul Experience, Charlie Worsham, KIRWAN the band and Les Kerr and The Bayou Band. Amber Anderson will emcee the Southwest Airlines Stage, and DJ Rod Youree will entertain between sets.

The event shifts in the evening to the free concert at the Jack Daniel’s Broadway Stage located at First and Broadway. Nashville-based artist Keesha Rainey will perform the National Anthem. Kelly Sutton will emcee the Jack Daniel’s Broadway Stage, and DJ Dave Aude will provide entertainment between sets.

After the concert, the event will move to Ascend Amphitheater for the live performance by the Nashville Symphony accompanying the 30-minute fireworks and drone show.  

Let Freedom Sing! Music City July 4th presented by Dr Pepper is produced by Music City Inc., the foundation of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp, for the city of Nashville. The free, family-friendly event was created to entertain Nashvillians and attract visitors to generate economic activity and tax revenue for the city.

Artist Bios

Dierks Bentley
After more than 20 years on country’s family tree, Dierks Bentley celebrates the outliers of small-town life – and of country music – with his 11th studio album BROKEN BRANCHES (Capitol Records Nashville) set for release June 13. Whittling down his essential sound to its rooted and most resolute, the 11 songs embrace unruly characters wherever they’re found, ultimately adding beauty to the whole. A proud broken branch in his own right, the multi-Platinum superstar’s current Top 30 “She Hates Me” is quickly climbing the charts following eight Number One albums, 22 Number One songs and over nine billion global streams – plus 15 Grammy nominations and membership in the historic Grand Ole Opry. A global headliner and against-the-grain torch bearer for country’s organic roots,  Bentley will launch his 30-city Broken Branches Tour on May 29 with Zach Top and The Band Loula. Continuing the path built from the ground up, as an entrepreneur, he has opened four locations of the gastropub and live music venue “Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row,” has a Flag & Anthem lifestyle collection “Desert Son” and recently released ROW 94 – a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey crafted with only “three ingredients and the truth” at Kentucky’s Green River Distilling Co. dierks.com

Russell Dickerson
Multi-platinum artist and all-in performer Russell Dickerson made a name for himself as an “ace songwriter” (Billboard) full of “unstoppable energy fans can’t get enough of” (E! News). After bursting onto the scene, the Tennessee native quickly stood out by releasing four consecutive career-launching singles that each reached No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. Since then, Dickerson has earned platinum or multi-platinum status on hits like “Yours” (3X Platinum), “Blue Tacoma” (2X Platinum), “Every Little Thing” (Platinum), “Love You Like I Used To” (Platinum), and “She Likes It” ft. Jake Scott (2X Platinum). In 2023, he scored his fifth No. 1 hit with “God Gave Me A Girl,” followed by the release of “Good Day to Have a Great Day,” “Bones” and his latest single “Happen To Me,” which marked the biggest debut of his career, notching over 9 million global streams in the first week. Known for his electric performances, Dickerson will hit the road this year on the RussellMania Tour 2025, extending into amphitheaters this summer and fall, with direct support from Jake Scott and Niko Moon on select dates. russelldickerson.com

Niko Moon has established himself as one of country music’s most exciting and dynamic new voices. He first gained recognition as a co-writer for the Zac Brown Band, contributing to hits like “Homegrown,” “Beautiful Drug” and “Loving You Easy.” He has also written songs for other major artists, including Morgan Wallen and HARDY. In 2020, Moon broke out as a solo artist with his multi-platinum single “Good Time,” which topped the country charts and became an anthem for good vibes. Following his These Are the Days EP earlier this year, Moon recently released his highly anticipated These Are the Nights EP, a four-song collection that reflects the magic of life’s simple joys and the energy of life on tour. Tracks like “Money Can’t Buy” and “Summer Don’t Go” highlight Moon’s signature blend of positivity, storytelling and feel-good sound. Most recently, he released “I Love This Beach,” a sun-soaked, coastal-inspired single already being embraced as the anthem of summer 2025. Known for his high-energy live performances, Moon continues to tour the country with his These Are the Nights Tour, delivering unforgettable experiences for fans nationwide. Off stage, Moon and his wife, Anna, co-founded the Happy Cowboy Foundation, which supports mental health initiatives and addiction recovery programs.

Grace Bowers and The Hodge Podge
Grace Bowers is an 18-year-old, award-winning guitarist, songwriter and bandleader who is undisputedly on a meteoric rise with buzz reaching fever pitch around the independent release of her debut album, Wine On Venus. Produced by John Osborne (Brothers Osborne), Wine On Venus garnered widespread acclaim. Forbes praised it as, “an infectious, joyous party,” and Rolling Stone called Bowers “Nashville’s new guitar hero.” Bowers cut her teeth playing in dive bars, inspired by the blues of B.B. King as well as the soulful funk of Sly And The Family Stone. Her breakout moment came when videos of her playing guitar on social media went viral during the pandemic. She has since become one of the most in-demand and celebrated young guitarists and an inspiration to a whole new generation of female guitarists around the world. Bowers recently performed with Peter Frampton and Trey Anastasio for Love Rocks NYC at the Beacon Theater and at the 67th GRAMMY Awards with Chris Martin (Coldplay). She was awarded the Variety Next Gen award at their annual Hitmakers event in Los Angeles. She also made her late-night television debut on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” was featured on “CBS Mornings” and NPR’s “All Things Considered,” and toured this past fall with The Red Clay Strays, The Allman Betts Family Revival and The Roots. She is currently on tour supporting Gary Clark Jr. Bowers won Instrumentalist of the Year at the 2024 Americana Music Association Honors & Awards, made her Grand Ole Opry debut on her 18th birthday, and was named a U.S. Global Music Ambassador by the U.S. Department of State and YouTube’s Global Music Diplomacy Initiative. She also performed alongside Dolly Parton on CBS, joined Lainey Wilson as part of CBS’ New Year’s Eve Live celebration, and been sought after by everyone from Tyler Childers and Susan Tedeschi to Kingfish. This past summer she joined Slash and Brothers Osborne on the road and performed alongside Billy Idol at the Fired Up For Summer benefit concert. She is perhaps most proud of raising $30,000 with her Second Annual “Grace Bowers & Friends: An Evening Supporting Love, Life & Music” benefit show, $15,000 of which was donated to MusiCares®. gracebowers.com

Walker Montgomery
Chosen as an “Artist to Watch” by Country Now, Music Mayhem Magazine, Sounds Like Nashville, The Boot and others, Walker Montgomery knows a thing or two about family tradition, but is also striving to build his own legacy. As the son of John Michael Montgomery and nephew of Montgomery Gentry’s Eddie Montgomery, he was raised away from the spotlight in Nicholasville, KY, but moved to Nashville and is carving a path all his own on today’s country scene. Walker made his Grand Ole Opry debut late last year and his pedigree is matched only by his passion for real country music, and he’s already put his classically inspired, honey-bourbon vocal to use on a self-penned debut hit, “Simple Town,” with over seven million global streams. His romantic power-ballad, “She Don’t Know,” featured on the 2022 Rust EP has garnered the new artist a staggering 40 million streams worldwide, in addition to his other story-building singles, the high-energy “Out of Nowhere” and good-time filled “Bad Day to be a Beer.” Montgomery has previously released singles from his EP Work to Do, the title track, “Lonely for A Livin,’” “Tired of You” and “Never Again One More Time,” as well as a collaboration version of “Never Again One More Time,” with Randy Rogers. Walker’s previous single, “I Love The Way You Love Me” has garnered more than 35 million views on his TikTok page. His latest release “Never Had You Anyway” is quickly gaining steam and is available everywhere now. walkermontgomery.com
