As anyone headed downtown this week may have noticed, the CMA Awards are tomorrow night, and they’re already leaving footprints all over our city. But there are some perks for us Nashvillians. We may not be able to drive the downtown streets, but we can enjoy some free entertainment from some pretty big name country stars (if that’s your thing). Last night saw a relatively impromptu performance at Tootsie’s from Kenny Chesney, and we hear that Kid Rock made a brief appearance on stage as well. We weren’t able to give much advance notice on that one, but here are a few more freebies to sweeten your week (thanks, CMApocalypse!).
TODAY
- Chevy CMA Awards Kickoff Concert. Featuring a free concert from Heidi Newfield (4pm), Rodney Atkins (4:45pm), Eli Young Band (5:45pm) and Kevin Costner & Modern West (6:30pm), the Chevy-esque events are happening from 12pm-7pm, but the concerts start at 4pm. Not sure why they want you there at noon, but maybe you can score some free Chevy swag. (Sommet Center Plaza at 5th & Broadway)
TOMORROW
- “Good Morning America” Taping with Miley & Billy Ray Cyrus. This should be a good one. Haul yourself out of bed and through downtown commuters at 7am to see good ol’ Miley and Billy Ray perform their tear-jerking father/daughter song that they perform at every awards ceremony. Yeah. (Sommet Center Plaza, 5th & Broadway)
All of the CMA Award Events can be found here, but the rest of them cost a bunch of $$$. We’re all about the free here at Nashvillest.
