CMA Music Fest September 17th!

DVR/Tivo alert for Hawk listeners!  The CMA Music Festival: Country's night to Rock, is Monday night at 8 on ABC, WIVT Newschannel 34 in the Southern Tier.  This year's show is co-hosted by the popular Luke Bryan and Kimberly Perry of the Band Perry.  I'm hoping Luke and Kimberly will a bit more comfortable than Carrie, Jennifer, Toby and others I have seen on past country specials.  I guess they can't all be like Reba!

The 3 hour special was filmed during 2012's CMA Music Festival in downtown Nashville in June and has a very impressive lineup.  Your all-access pass on ABC includes: Alan Jackson, Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Eric Church, Brantley Gilbert, Faith Hill, Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts, Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood, The Zac Brown Band and more.

After you watch the show Monday, you may want to join other Hawk fans and go to next year's festival.  Tickets for the 2013 festival, which is June 6-9, are available now and priced at $125-$350 for a 4-day package through www.cmaworld.com
