Live from CMA Fest 2012: Laura Bell Bundy

13 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Live from CMA Fest 2012: Laura Bell Bundy
Laura Bell Bundy is one of those performers whose show I will always try to catch at events like CMA Fest. It may not be the country music I usually listen to (though I do think her 2010 release, Achin’ and Shakin’, was underrated by critics), but she is just so wonderfully entertaining to watch Read More

One of the best things about CMA Fest is being able to finally catch performances from artists long on my to-see list. Casey James has been near the top of that list for some time now, and his performance on the Riverfront stage on Saturday, June 9, was a great introduction to his live show. Read More

During CMA Fest this year, I decided to go chat to country music fans to find out why they support their favorite artists.

The new-to-me performance I was most looking forward to during CMA Fest 2012 was finally watching Kip Moore play live.

Despite the morning time slot, after having recently enjoyed a two-week stay at #1 Read More

When Eric Paslay included the song ‘Deep as it Is Wide’ in his set yesterday, June 8, on the Bud Light stage outside the Bridgestone Arena during CMA Fest 2012, I remarked to the lady next to me that however many artists were performing that day, no one was going to play a song that Read More

13 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Fan Stories – CMA Fest 2012: Scotty McCreery
In the last year, Scotty McCreery has established himself on the country music scene and expanded his already massive fan base even more. My hearing might not be quite as good as it was this morning, but his fans were a whole bunch of fun to hang out with! Check out what they had to Read More

13 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Fan Stories – CMA Fest 2012: Chris Young
Chris Young has had a truly stellar two years. The people who have made this possible, more than any other group of people, are his fans. I caught up with some of them in the Fan fair Hall in the convention center at this year’s CMA Fest and asked them why they like Chris Young Read More

13 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Fan Stories – CMA Fest 2012: Hunter Hayes
When Hunter Hayes took part in CMA Fest last year, there was a bit of a line at the autograph signing. This year, the line just about circled the whole convention center. The young singer has shot to fame with single, ‘Wanted,’ and his self-titled debut album, and has scored the opening slot on Carrie Read More
