March 13, 2008: NASHVILLE – The excitement is building for 2008 CMA Music Festival, Thursday-Sunday, June 5-8 in Downtown Nashville, as artists performing at the Greased Lightning® Daytime Stages at Riverfront are announced.
“The CMA Music Festival artist performer lineup truly reflects the diversity and strength of our music,” said Tammy Genovese, CMA Chief Executive Officer. “We have today’s hitmakers, legends and rising stars from the worlds of contemporary and traditional Country Music. If you want to experience the best of the format, you’ll find it everywhere you turn during CMA Music Festival.”
