The CMA Awards show performances are usually dominated by the hot young acts of Country Music. However, two legends have been invited to perform at the 2013 awards to pay tribute to a Country Music Hall of Famer.
I have to say this is a first! Talk about an expensive marketing tool. This came in the mail for me yesterday from none other than Blake Shelton's record company - a record that you play with your iPhone!
Every year it's fun to see who makes the list of CMA nominations for country music's biggest night. However, every year there's always a few favorites missing from the list.
Most every Country Music singer will tell you that they hope to grab a few CMA or ACM awards along the way, but the ultimate and most rewarding goal for any artist in this genre is membership into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
For the last few years the CMA has produced a much anticipated Christmas Special that returns to ABC tonight (12/20/12). CMA Country Christmas hosted by Jennifer Nettles is sure to get you in the Holiday Spirit!
There are only a few more weeks until Christmas, and that can only mean one thing. Okay, actually it means several things, but one of our favorites is the 'CMA Country Christmas' special. The third annual two-hour holiday and country music celebration will air on ABC on Dec. 20.
It's no secret lots of freebies are handed out backstage at any awards show. Maui Jim Sunglasses returned to the CMA Awards to give your favorite stars a chance to pick out their favorite pair. We recently chatted with Maui Jim to ask them why stars from Little Big Town to Scotty McCreery have been trying on these cool shades.
If there was one moment at the 2012 CMA awards that really made me smile, it was watching Little Big Town get their long overdue recognition from the CMA.
With current stars like Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, and Keith Urban winning the CMA's Entertainer of the Year award, I thought it would be fun to remember the first stars of Country Music to win the CMA's Entertainer Of The Year Award.
We are given alot of promotional material and gifts from artists to get us to vote for them each year for the CMA awards. Today Blake Shelton sent Sean and I a "Team Blake" tee shirt. It's gone from my side of the desk. Where the heck is it?
It's the biggest night in country music, and you could be a part of it.
Enter here for a trip to see the CMAs in person in Nashville on November 1. The show features Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Taylor, Eric Church, Brad Paisley... and just about everyone else. Plus, you'll get to meet the Band Perry backstage before the show.
