Luke Bryan to Perform on ‘Good Morning America’ Prior to the CMA Awards
Wake up and then celebrate into the night with three-time CMA Awards nominee Luke Bryan when he performs on ABC News’ “Good Morning America” Wednesday, Nov. 6 (7:00-9:00 AM/ET), and then opens “The 47th Annual CMA Awards” (8:00-11:00 PM/ET), live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on the ABC Television Network.
The announcement was made on “Good Morning America” this morning. Additionally, “GMA” co-anchor Robin Roberts will report live from the Bridgestone Arena that morning and will present a CMA Award that night on the broadcast.
“We are going to kick-start the CMA Awards early in Nashville on Nov. 6 and I hope everyone comes to join us,” said Bryan. “We will be partying as the sun comes up! Can’t wait.”
“With Luke performing on ‘Good Morning America’ you can leave the caffeine in the coffee pot,” said Ed Hardy, President of the CMA Board of Directors. “What a great way to jump start the CMA Awards – morning and night!”
Bryan is nominated in three categories this year, including his first nomination for Entertainer of the Year. He is also nominated for Male Vocalist and Musical Event of the Year for “The Only Way I Know” with Jason Aldean and Eric Church. Bryan has seven career CMA nominations. He was first nominated in 2010 for New Artist of the Year and has been a presence at the CMA Awards every year since.
In addition to Bryan’s performance, winners in two CMA Awards categories will be announced live on “Good Morning America” and officiated by representatives from the international accounting firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP.
The “Good Morning America” performance and announcement will take place on the plaza of the Bridgestone Arena (corner of Broadway and Fifth Avenue), site of “The 47th Annual CMA Awards.” The event is part of the Countdown to the CMA Awards and is free and open to the public.
Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood return for the sixth time to host the CMA Awards live from Nashville on Wednesday, Nov. 6 (8:00-11:00 PM/ET) on the ABC Television Network.
