Rather than stringing along each of his events during the 2017 CMA Music Festival, Josh Turner decided to see his fans all in one day with a jam-packed schedule of festivities around downtown Nashville.

Starting off by hanging out with a Nashville radio show early in the morning, Turner made his way over to an intimate show put on for festivalgoers at the HGTV Lodge off a side street of Broadway. The country singer then met hundreds of fans for a meet-and-greet autograph session to celebrate the release of his vinyl before heading out to the Riverfront to perform for a sea of excited listeners.

Ending the busy day with a special appearance at the Grand Ole Opry, Turner may have been exhausted after it all but he surely made the most of his time at the biggest weekend in country music.

“I had such a great time at this year’s CMA Fest. The fans were so excited to be in Nashville, the weather was great and the events were varied. My schedule consisted of everything from acoustic performances at the HGTV Lodge, an autograph signing at Fan Fair X, the Riverfront show to live radio interviews and capping it off with my 150th Opry performance,” he told Sounds Like Nashville.

Turner appreciates every moment of his country career though, and owes it all to the fans who allow him the opportunity to do what he loves every day.

“Country fans are the best in the world. They allow me to live my dream and have been so supportive from day one. I admire their passion and dedication to travel from afar to take part in the festivities. I will never take being part of CMA fest for granted,” Turner explained.

Fans can hear Turner’s current single, “All About You,” on country radio as it soars up the charts this summer.
