Ryan Griffin at Rusty Bull Brewing Co.
Tuesday, August 16, 2022

Heavy traffic and even a sudden downpour couldn’t keep the enthusiastic Nashville Hot crowd away from the highly anticipated Ryan Griffin performance at Rusty Bull Brewing Co. on Aug. 16. The crowd came ready for a good time and the “Salt, Lime & Tequila” artist delivered with high-energy performances of originals like “Summer on It” and “Slow Down Sunrise” and heartfelt renditions of “Love Don’t” and “Best Cold Beer.”

But the highlights of the night came when he called 92.5 Kickin’ Country’s own Jessica Chandler on-stage to enthusiastically sing his breakout song “Dibs” and the lovely and talented Brenna to masterfully duet his current hit single “Salt, Lime & Tequila.” (We had no idea we had such vocal talent right in our own studio! Videos below, do not miss them.)

And don’t miss the next Nashville Hot show, either! We’re consistently bringing Nashville’s hottest on-the-cusp talent to this intimate venue for ticket prices that are an absolute steal. So, watch this space for info on the next one, plus your chance to win VIP seats and a meet n’ greet with the artist after the show.

Big thanks to our Ryan Griffin Nashville Hot sponsor Bootjack Clothing Co.:

But first, enjoy this Choral Chaos rendition of Ryan’s hit single “Salt, Lime & Tequila” – the game where 92.5 Kickin’ Country’s Ellison Karesh makes Nashville’s finest sing Mad-Libbed lyrics to their own songs… and try not to laugh:
