| Nashville, Tenn. – (April 17, 2023) – Mitchell Tenpenny had a week of dreams coming true last week with an ACM Award nomination for “At The End Of A Bar” with Chris Young in the Music Event category, celebrating his #1 single “Truth About You,” and performing at Nissan Stadium for the first time with a full band as a special guest on headliner Luke Comb’s World Tour. Mitchell’s last performance at Nissan was an acoustic set during CMA Fest in 2022. On Friday afternoon Mitchell gathered with his “Truth About You” cowriters Matt Alderman and Thomas Archer as BMI hosted a celebration for the song’s #1 success. Sponsored by Studio Bank, Music, Arts & Entertainment Executive Ron Cox, presented a donation on behalf of Mitchell and the “Truth About You” songwriters to Mitchell’s 10Penny Fund. The platinum-selling song made chart history with the shortest span between #1 songs since 1982 with just three weeks since his last chart topper. “Truth About You” followed Mitchell’s co-penned #1 collaboration with labelmate Chris Young on the ACM Music Event nominated “At The End Of A Bar.” It was Willie Nelson who in 1982 succeeded himself in consecutive weeks with “Always On My Mind” followed by his duet with Waylon Jennings on “Just To Satisfy You.” Mitchell departed the #1 party for Nissan Stadium where the Nashville native was asked by headliner Luke Combs to perform as part of an added second stop on Combs’ record-breaking World Tour. |
