Hailey Whitters and 49 Winchester took the stage together during a special Nashville showcase in the lead-up to CMA Fest 2023.
The two fast-emerging artists performed at Dee's Country Cocktail Lounge on Wednesday evening during a secret show, as Nashville's colossal country-loving fanbase continues to gear up for CMA Fest, which officially kicks off today (Thursday, June 8).
As part of the set, Hailey Whitters and 49 Winchester linked up for a crowd-pleasing rendition of Dolly Parton's iconic hit, ‘9 to 5’, which served as the electrifying finale to the joint performance.
As usual, Hailey Whitters brought her captivating, playful charm to the Dee's Lounge stage, which felt amplified in the knowledge she was performing a song by the Queen of Country.
49 Winchester were also their usual entertaining, high-energy selves, with the much-loved band underlining once again to all those in attendance exactly why they're being tipped - alongside Hailey Whitters - as one of the genre's stars of tomorrow.
