CMA Music Fest

Country music star Parker McCollum is bringing his 2024 tour to the Ford Center in Evansville. Plus, he's bringing an American Idol champion with him.

Jaclyn and I had the chance to meet country music newcomer Drew Baldridge last week at the CMA Music Festival in Nashville.  And we learned that Drew is from Southern Illinois.  He grew up about a half hour from Mount Vernon.  When we caught up with Drew he was in the middle of the "biggest week of his career."  His debut CD, Dirt On Us, was released.  He appeared at the CMA Music Festiv

I rarely "fangirl."  LOL!  But I was all about Friday in Nashville when Jaclyn and I had the chance to sit down with and interview Todd Chrisley from the hilarious TV show, Chrisley Knows Best.  Todd was actually in Nashville for two reasons: 1) to promote the season finale of his show, which airs tonight and 2) to debut his brand new duet with Sara Evans.  So, we met up with Todd to tal

"This song is gonna put us on the map."  That's how the Lo Cash Cowboys describe their song "Best Seat in the House."  And, honestly, I think they may be right.  Jaclyn and I kicked off our coverage of the CMA Music Festival at the Lo Cash Cowboys fan club breakfast at Puckett's in downtown Nashville.  And there, Chris and Preston chatted about this song, the meaning behind it,

While Jaclyn was lurking around the CMA Music Fest's Bud Light stage and drooling over country newcomer and Survivor:Nicaragua runner-up Chase Rice, I ditched her to catch my favorite bluegrass act in action on the Transitions Stage.  And The Cleverlys didn't disappoint.  The boys known for hilarious and uber-twangy covers of songs like "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" and "I Gott

Last week in Nashville, Jaclyn and I saw dozens and dozens of country music artists singing live.  For me, no one was better than Kip Moore.  He absolutely rocked it out in an acoustic set at the HGTV Lodge downtown.  And Jac and I were there to catch his performance.  Check out this live version of "Beer Money" and feel free to sing along . . . just like the crowd does!

CMA Music Fest is a great way to introduce yourself to new artists. I first heard of Chase Rice on Twitter and found out a few things... He co-wrote Florida Georgia Line's number one hit, "Cruise", he has a crazy underground-almost-Brantley Gilbert fan base and he's pretty easy on the eyes. (What, like you didn't see that coming from me, haha!) So, Chad and I decided to check out his set

Chad and I had SO much fun in Nashville for the CMA Music Fest! We saw some great performances and fun interviews with lots of country music stars! Check out our photos from performances by Florida Georgia Line, Kip Moore, Casey James, Phil Vassar, LoCash Cowboys, Chase Rice and other photos with Colt Ford, Kristen Kelly, Chad Warrix and Tennessee Titan's Rob Bironas!

It's no secret how much I'm lovin Florida Georgia Line...they're nice, they're fun and I LOVE their music! So, when I was planning our CMA Fest schedule of shows, there was one that I wasn't going to miss, haha! Chad and I were able to catch a very intimate acoustic performance from the boys inside the HGTV "Lodge" on Friday and we managed to get a video of them singing their latest sing
