CMT Hot 20 Countdown Features Festival Interviews and Performances
Nashville, Tennessee – The 2nd Annual Pepsi SpringJam music festival combined some of the hottest acts in Country and Pop music over two beautiful days in sunny Panama City Beach, Florida last weekend. Close to 13,000 fans packed the two-day event in Aaron Bessant Park for headliners Sheryl Crow and Darius Rucker and another 10 acts.
“Headlined by Sheryl Crow and Darius Rucker, this year’s Pepsi SpringJam was awesome!” said Visit Panama City Beach President and CEO Dan Rowe. “Live music festivals showcase the dynamic nature of the Beach. With events like this combined with a fun, laid-back vibe, it is no wonder that Panama City Beach ranks as one of the top beach destinations in the country.”
