The CMA Music Festival has three main venues in which to see some of your favorite country music artists. During the day, artists play outdoors next to the Cumberland River at the Riverside Stages. During the evening, artists play in nightly shows at the Coliseum. And again, during the day, you can visit many of your favorite artists in the air conditioned comfort of the Convention Center at the Wrangler Exhibit Hall.
While many people arrive hours before the hall opens at 10:00 am daily to line up and get passes to get in autograph lines, I opted to just show up later in the day and snap some pictures of whoever was there at the time, as well as a few of the booths that didn't have an artist signing.
The lines were huge around LeAnn Rimes booth. I couldn't even see her from the floor there were so many people in line to meet her. Trace Adkins also had a huge crowd, and I snapped a picture of him from the crowd.
Penny also visited at different times than I did and took some photos of Montgomery Gentry, Billy Ray Cyrus, Josh Turner, Tracy Lawrence, Ty England, and George Canyon, Matt Lindahl and Lance Miller of Nashville Star 2004.
