The CMA Music Festival kicked off yesterday and the nightly concerts at LP Field in Nashville did not disappoint fans. The Oak Ridge Boys started the night off by singing the National Anthem, then Danny Gokey made his CMA Music Festival debut. The night included a sting of performances from Jason Aldean, Lady Antebellum, Tim McGraw, and Alan Jackson. And as though you can have a headliner with a night of names like that, Carrie Underwood closed the night and brought the house down when she brought out Jason Aldean for a rendition of Gun and Roses’ “Paradise City.” Tonight’s performing at LP Field include Julianne Hough, Josh Turner, Miranda Lambert, Keith Urban, The Band Perry and Reba McEntire.
The Judds helped kick off the River Front stage performances yesterday, and they announced the name of their upcoming tour. Regarding the tour, Wynonna said, “The truth is it’s time. A woman knows when it’s time to…have a child, or get married. I just knew. Our therapist says it’s okay that we go back out in public without supervised visits. We’re in a really good place. I’m probably the healthiest that I’ve been in a long time. Mom has obviously healed. We’re the American dream, and it’s just time to celebrate that.” The Judds reached out to their fans to name the tour and the result was “The Last Encore.”
Fan club parties are a huge part of the week’s events in Nashville. At one in particular, Chris Young celebrated three huge accomplishments. With his fan club right there with him, Chris celebrated his most recent song “The Man I Want To Be,” reaching the top of the charts, his CMT Music Award win for the Nationwide on Your Side award and his 25th birthday. Gene Watson joined Chris on stage for “Mama Tried” and Chris played all of his hits as well. To celebrate his birthday, Chris blew out candles on top of a two piece birthday cake shaped like the number 25 complete with red, black and white icing and silver records that read Happy Birthday.
