Country music AND Hawaii? Sign us up!

Eric Church certainly didn’t need his arm twisted when it came to heading to the island of Maui for the second annual BMI Maui Songwriters Festival. The event took place from December 1 to 3 and offered three full days of endless music and stories.

The festival included some of music’s biggest songwriters from not only the country world, but also from pop, rock and indie. The lineup included appearances from Church, Lee Ann Womack, Willie Nelson, Charlie Worsham, Aubrie Sellers and so many more.

Check out some special photos from the remarkable event below…
