NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Thursday, June 6, 2013 – Country music superstar Ronnie Dunn
surprised fans in downtown Nashville for CMA Music Festival activities
last night when he performed four songs on the rooftop patio of Rippy’s
Bar and Grill on lower Broadway. The performance happened as fans were
departing the Bridgestone Arena after watching the CMT Awards. Dunn
debuted four new songs: “Country This,” “Kiss You There,” “Cowgirls
Rock ‘N’ Roll” and “Peace, Love and Country Music.” During “Kiss You
There,” a flash mob took over Broadway for an impromptu dance to the
delight of the crowd. Both “Country This” and “Kiss You There” can be downloaded exclusively on iTunes. To view the performance and flashmob, click here.

As Dunn told USA Today,
“I’m more excited about where music is today than I ever have been. We
no longer have to play by rules because there are no rules. The band and
crew snuck in and set-up to ambush the unsuspecting crowd coming out of
the CMT Awards. We don’t have a clue what we’re doing, but we’re
having fun and working overtime to come up with unorthodox ways to get
music to people who simply like music. I hope that those of you who
rambled into the line of fire had a good time!”
