Garth didn’t perform; he was on hand to present Steve Boom, Amazon’s VP of Music, with the Music Innovation Award. Garth was introduced by chart-topping hip-hop deejay, producer and social media star DJ Khaled.
Matthew, there without the rest of Old Dominion, was introduced by super-producer Shane McAnally, and performed the group’s smash hit “No Such Thing as a Broken Heart.” Kane also performed, as did pop/rock star Elle King, who won a CMA last year for her duet with Dierks Bentley, “Different for Girls.”
“I always say that what I do for a living is something that I would do anyway,” Matthew told ABC Radio on the red carpet before his performance. “And then we really get to see that music actually makes a difference. And so if I can come in here and lend a little bit of talent to that, to help, then I’m happy to do it.”
As for Kane, he’s never met a charitable cause he didn’t like.
“I just love supporting any cause,” the chart-stopping star told ABC Radio. “I know it sounds weird but any way I can help people out, I just love to do it!”
