2010 CMA Music Festival- Day 2

2010 CMA Music Festival- Day 2

Day 2 of the 2010 CMA Music Festival was another fun-fulled day! Thanks to Chevy, we were on hand to experience all of the events. Between the concerts at the Riverfront and the Chevy Stages and the autograph signings in the Fan Fair Hall, it’s tough to decide what to do!

The weather actually wasn’t that hot on Day 2, so the Riverfront Stages were really nice. The music was cranking all day with performances by artists such as Gretchen Wilson, the Eli Young Band, and Patty Loveless took the Riverfront Stages to entertain the eager crowds.

Many artists such as The Harters, Brantley Gilbert, and Emily West performed on the Chevy Stage throughout the day on Friday.

Some of country’s hottest stars such as Kellie Pickler, Rodney Atkins, Gloriana, and Randy Houser took time to sign autographs and take photos with fans in the Fan Fair Hall on Friday.

It was another fabulous lineup at LP Field on Friday. The highlight of the night was when Keith Urban was joined by Sarah Buxton and Little Big Town’s Kimberly Schlapman & Karen Fairchild for Joe Cocker’s “A Little Help From My Friends.” Urban dedicated the song to the volunteers and victims of the recent Nashville flooding. It was VERY touching. They actually performed the song twice, so it will definitely make the ABC television special in the fall.
