Carly Pearce joined Big Machine Label Group executives Allison Jones and Jim Weatherson on a panel for the 29th class of Leadership Music, a national program based in Nashville. The starlet shared the story of her long journey leading to a breakout year with the Leadership Music Class of 2018.

The event concluded with Pearce performing two songs including her now gold-certified "Every Little Thing” and the current single “Hide The Wine,” which helped earn her first ACM nod for New Female Vocalist of the Year.
