Nashville Is Gearing Up for the Big CMA Party

From Sean Dooley, About.com Guide   November 9, 2009

Follow me on:

"The 43rd Annual CMA Awards" takes place in downtown Nashville at the Sommet Center (home of the Nashville Predators of the N.H.L.) and will air live on ABC on Wednesday, November 11 at 8/7 c. Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood are co-hosting the show.

The roster of talent performing this year is impressive and includes a number of non-country artists, which will undoubtedly infuse some different flavor into the event.

So far, the list of confirmed performers includes (in alphabetical order): Jason Aldean, Brooks and Dunn, Kenny Chesney with Dave Matthews, Vince Gill with Daughtry (that should be interesting!), Jamey Johnson with Kid Rock, Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Reba McEntire, Martina McBride, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker, George Strait, Sugarland, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban and the Zac Brown Band.

As of Monday morning, there were a couple of hundred tickets still available, but those should be snapped up before the day is through. Also, if you're planning to attend the show, be sure to keep an eye out for road closures in an around downtown Nashville. One major street, Demonbreun Avenue, has already been closed down in certain sections. Check the local paper or news for other traffic adjustments on the day of the show.

If you do attend the CMA's, please share your experience with us below!
