ABC's "CMA Music Festival" Miranda Joins The Lineup

Thursday, June 28, 2007
More Artists Announced For "CMA Music Festival: Country's Night To Rock" On the ABC Television Network Monday, July 23

Additional Performers Include Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, and Taylor Swift

Two-Time "Dancing with the Stars" Champion Cheryl Burke, Dierks Bentley, Brooks & Dunn, George Jones, and Kellie Pickler Appear in Story Segments

NASHVILLE - The Country Music Association turns up the heat this summer with sizzling concert performances and heart-warming stories featuring some of Country Music's hottest stars on "CMA Music Festival: Country's Night to Rock" - a two-hour network primetime special airing Monday, July 23 (9:00-11:00 PM/ET), on the ABC Television Network.

Filmed in Nashville during the legendary CMA Music Festival, which began as Fan Fair® in 1972, the special features performances by Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town and Taylor Swift. Previously announced performers include Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Big & Rich, Brooks & Dunn, Sara Evans, Martina McBride, Brad Paisley, Kellie Pickler, Rascal Flatts, LeAnn Rimes, Sugarland, Josh Turner, Carrie Underwood, and Reba McEntire in a duet with "American Idol" Kelly Clarkson.

"The artist lineup at this year's CMA Music Festival was amazing and the TV special captures the diversity, talent and top-notch concert production that have made these artists fan favorites from coast-to-coast," said Tammy Genovese, CMA Chief Operating Officer. "This time, everyone has a front row seat for some of the hottest performances of the summer!"

In addition, the special captures the heart of CMA Music Festival, which is the unique bond between Country Music artists and their fans. Taped exclusively for the special, the cameras follow the stories of several Festival attendees who had their dreams realized when they were granted surprise, personal encounters with their favorite Country Music stars.

A former "American Idol" finalist who is now one of Country Music's fastest rising stars, Kellie Pickler knows what it's like to have a dream come true and she shared that experience with Kellie McFarland, 19, a diehard Country Music fan who has dreams of running her own record label. Pickler paid a surprise visit at McFarland's Nashville home and took the aspiring record executive on a tour of her record label. The uber fan got the star treatment and experienced what it is like to live like a Country Music star as she and two friends, Tyler Rider, 20, and Melissa Montgomery, 21, hung out with Pickler and were granted an all-access pass to the event.

Nashville media were buzzing when word leaked during the Festival that Brooks & Dunn would take it back to their road-house roots with an unannounced club concert for their grittiest fans at The Stage. The story began with a local radio DJ announcing the news of the impromptu honky tonk concert and the result was pandemonium as 3,000 fans clogged the streets for a glimpse of the most awarded duo in CMA Awards history. Overwhelmed and moved by their loyal fan base, Ronnie Dunn and Kix Brooks returned the devotion, performing for the packed house, posing for photos and signing autographs well into the night.

Karmela Kondra, 21, Andy Dufort, 23, and Stacey Zurburg, 27, from Calgary, Alberta, and Mike Boyenko, 27, from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, were a group of friends that journeyed to Music City for four days of music and fun, but they got a whole lot more when Dierks Bentley greeted them outside their hotel. Bentley ended up taking them on a tour of Nashville including the Fan Fair Exhibit Hall and the Country Music Hall of Fame, where they met Hall of Fame legend George Jones, and experienced a day in the life of a busy Country star.

Two-time winner of ABC TV's "Dancing with the Stars" Cheryl Burke had a tough assignment - search through 50,000 screaming, singing, dance-till-dawn concert goers to find the biggest Country Music fans at CMA Music Festival. Once she zeroed in on her picks, she sprung the news that this was they "Lucky Day" and they would be granted backstage meet and greets with their favorite stars.

Sisters Alexa, 13, and Hannah Borroel, 17, of Santa Ynez, Calif., and Melissa Greenfield, 17, of Nashville, Tenn., met on Sugarland's fan web site and then met in person at the Festival, where Burke found them and introduced them to their idols before the duo performed at LP Field. Anna Menghart, 23, and Crystal Cobb, 22, both of Little Rock, Ark., had a backstage meeting with Rascal Flatts. And singer LeAnn Rimes was delighted to meet three of her biggest fans, Tyler Anderson, 19, of Lafayette, La., Claire Gremillion, 18, of Youngsville, La., and Jewel Hicks, 17, of Welsh, La., at her tour bus.

"The relationship between the artists and their fans has been the cornerstone of this event for 36 years," said Genovese. "The story segments in the special communicate the loyalty, admiration and dedication between them."

The CMA Music Festival network television special first aired in 2004. This marks the third consecutive year the special will air on ABC. "CMA Music Festival: Country's Night to Rock" is a CMA production. Robert Deaton is the executive producer, and Gary Halvorson is the director. The special was shot in high definition and will be broadcast in 720 Progressive (720P), ABC's selected HDTV format, with 5.1 channel surround sound.

The annual CMA Music Festival is unlike any other, taking place over four days and featuring more than 100 hours of concert performances, 30 hours of autograph signings with more than 400 artists and celebrities participating. The 2007 CMA Music Festival was the biggest in history with more than 191,000 attendees representing every state and 21 foreign countries.

Crazy Confessions!
Tuesday, June 26, 2007
Hey Y’all,

I wanna say thank you again to all the fans who came to the fan club party. I love getting to see you guys again. I hope you had a great time. I wish I would have had more time to spend with all of you but as you know CMA festival week is always so hectic. I was so pleased with the turn out and Scotty and I had a blast. Also, thanks for all the cool gifts you guys brought, the scrap books, tees, belt buckle, the awesome Kasey Kahne stuff, pictures, bandanas, etc. It just shows how well you guys really know me. It felt like Christmas in June when I got back to the bus!

The album sales are still doing great. We love being able to play new songs in the shows, especially now that y’all can sing along. It’s great hearing everyone singing back to me every night.

Finally life feels like it's back to normal again after a very crazy month. I’m glad to be back out on the road doing shows. This week we started the tour with Toby. I'm really looking forward to it. I think it’s going to be a great tour.

Speaking of the Toby tour: Calling All Crazy Ex-Girlfriends (and guys with Crazy Ex’s)! We have started a “Crazy Ex Girlfriend Confessions Tent” that will be on tour with us outside the venues before the doors open. The tent looks awesome! Crysta will be there with a video camera filming the best stories from all you girls (and guys too I guess). The winner will be put on our website for all to see! This is gonna be so fun for me to watch because I know some of my fans are a little on the crazy side. I also won’t feel like I'm alone in my psyco- ness HA HA(I think I made up that word!) Anyway y’all get your stories ready and remember we want the whole truth! I can’t wait to see you tellin’ your story.

Delilah will be out with me this whole summer. I haven't gotten to see her a lot lately because I have been flying so much. But she has been getting spoiled rotten staying with mom and playing with Dixie and Molly. I know I always talk about the dogs but they are a huge part of my life. Sometimes I wonder if people get tired of me showing them my doggie pics? It's like they are my kids or something. That makes me think of my next thing to tell you…..I want to remind you guys that I do love when you all bring me gifts but the Humane Society of Smith County is still my charity. That’s where Delilah used to live. Because of you guys donating money and buying things online (on eBay) we have been able to really help them financially. I am planning on doing a benefit for them next spring. It will be my first charity event to host myself. The best gift you could ever give me is donating money in my name to this great cause. I really think we are making a huge difference. On reason I chose this particular shelter is because I visit them when I am in town and I actually get to see all the benefits that our donations are bringing to them. I wish you could all visit there and see what I mean. If you want to see me smile over a gift, bring me a card with a dog on it and a note that you’ve made a donation (any amount) to my little friends or a picture of a shelter pet you’ve adopted!

Anyway, I guess that’s all I have this time.

Love a shelter pet!!
