Tyler Hubbard to Perform During 'Bob Kingsley's Acoustic Alley' at CRS 2025

Tyler Hubbard is set to perform during Bob Kingsley’s Acoustic Alley during CRS 2025. The highly anticipated event will occur on Thursday, February 20, 2025, and will be a celebration of country music’s songwriting craft.

With 22 No. 1 singles and two RIAA-certified Diamond songs under his belt as an artist, as well as 18 No. 1 hits as a songwriter, Tyler Hubbard is one of the genre's most accomplished artists. In addition to his own songs, Hubbard has written multiple #1 and multi-Platinum songs for other artists, including “You Make It Easy” and “Burnin’ It Down” by Jason Aldean, “Hope You Get Lonely Tonight” for Cole Swindell and many more. Attendees will have a rare opportunity to experience his distinctive sound and songwriting talent up close.

Hubbard’s debut solo album Tyler Hubbard (released January 2023) and sophomore album Strong (released April 2024) have already produced three chart-topping singles: ‘5 Foot 9,’ ‘Dancin’ In The Country’ and ‘Back Then Right Now.’ As a member of Florida Georgia Line, and now a solo artist, Hubbard’s hits have left a lasting imprint on the country music landscape. CRS 2025 attendees will experience his music in a personal, acoustic setting at Bob Kingsley’s Acoustic Alley.
