CMTT is having a great time covering CMA Music Fest thanks to Chevy who is sponsoring our trip this year.  Day 2 was a BLAST! and we can only imagine it’s going to get better and better!

Yesterday, our first stop downtown was the Chevy Stages at the Bridgestone Plaza to catch Katie Armiger and Brantley Gilbert perform.  It was my first time seeing either of them, and I was extremely impressed, and so did the crowd!

After hitting-up the Chevy Stage, we headed on down to our very first benefit concert.  The Country Music Food For the Soul benefit was held at The Rutledge downtown Nashville.  For $15, fans could come and see some of Nashville’s Up-and-Coming artists. Thompson Square hosted and performed along with Fast Ryde, Matt Gary, Telluride, Ash Bowers, The Harters, Carter Twins, and Mallary Hope. WOW! All I have to say is “watch-out Nashville! You’ve got some serious talent making their way to the top!”

After the concert and a bite to eat, we headed down to LP Field for the nightly concerts. Several seat upgrades were announced throughout the night courtesy of Chevy! They are making sure everyone is having an amazing time at CMA Music Fest!

Last nights line-up had the crowd on their feet! Julianne Hough, Josh Turner, Miranda Lambert, Keith Urban, Reba McEntire, and Kid Rock rocked the stadium til midnight. Each act had their highlights. My favorite of the night was obviously Keith Urban. The aussie crooner got a standing ovation when he performed “A Little Help From My Friends.” Sarah Buxton and Little Big Towns Karen and Kimberly sang back-up vocals to the amazing performance. Video of the recent flood played int he background. It truly was amazing.

Day 3 is just around the cover. We’ll be bringing you all the coverage courtesy of Chevy!! On the agenda is more great music from the Chevy Stage, Riverfront Park, and LP Field!
