November 10, 2017
Sturgill Simpson, who won the 2016 Grammy for Best Country album, wasn't invited to the 2017 Country Music Awards.
So, he decided to bring his grammy to downtown Nashville, set up his guitar case outside of the arena, and play for folks going in.

"You've got a better chance of getting in there than I do, I'll tell you that," he said to one person during his busking experience, which he also streamed on Facebook Live.
An hour in, thousands of people were watching, and a handful of fans surrounded him on the street.

"Finally made it, guys, big show," he says in the video. "They were all out of seats, I couldn't get a ticket. So I thought I'd come down here and play some country music, since we're celebrating it this evening in Nashville, Tennessee."
