Riverfront Stage at CMA Music Festival 2008

 

May 29 to June 3, 2008

We are staying in Two Rivers Campground near Opry Land in northeast Nashville over the Memorial Day weekend. Two Rivers is the private campground we recommend for anyone visiting Nashville. We like it because it is $21 cheaper than the next best campground. When staying at Two Rivers Campground we pay $31 for water & 30-amps. Full-hookup and 50-amps are a bit more. But, and it is a big BUT the Yogi Bear Campground next door starts at $51 and goes up while the KOA a block away starts somewhere above that and the sky is the limit. In Nashville you are paying for LOCATION and Two Rivers Campground has LOCATION. Besides that they sponsor good entertainment in the park several times a week. When I say "GOOD" entertainment I mean FREE afternoon shows from the likes of Hot Damn out of South Florida, Paul Hill who operates out of Nashville and the incomprehendable Mel McDaniel who still resides in Nashville.

We normally look for 1/2 price PPA Campgrounds COE Campgrounds or National Park Campgrounds. But in Nashville, over the Memorial Day weekend Two Rivers Campground is our choice.

 

On Thursday music started at 10am on the Riverfront stage and continued nonstop until 6:30. Then at 7:45 the music resumed at LP Field across the River and continued until midnight. The later it got at LP Field the bigger the stars names that were performing. To give you an idea of the quality and type of performers featured on the River Front Stage Thursday: Deborah Allen, Luke Bryan, Phil Vassar, Jo Dee Messina, Chuck Wicks, Crystal Shawanda, Keith Anderson, Erika Jo, Mindy McCready, Phil Stacey, David Nail, Aaron Tippin, Bellamy Brothers, Heidi Newfield, Richie McDonald, Zac Brown Band, Carter's chord, Mark Chesnutt, Eddy Raven, Andy Griggs, Daniell Peck, Tracy Byrd and Lee Brice. Now how is that for a lineup, and it is just one of the venues available.

This is Luke Bryan's fiddle player performing on the Riverfront Stage.

 

 

In addition to being a performer Luke is a songwriter. You will probably recognize one of the songs he wrote that is a current hit: "I was sitting in the back of a pickup truck selling turnip greens" released by Billy Currington.

Chuck Wicks is breaking on the Country Music scene with his hit song "Stealing Cinderella". Listen closely to the words of Stealing Cinderella they are memories, feelings and thoughts that most young men go through when left alone to look around in his future bride's parent's home. In Chuck's case his wife actually played Cinderella at Disney World one summer. Now you know how he made the connection -- thus the inspiration for this hit.

Erika Jo is a new performer and winner of the Nashville Star contest. From the looks of things I think she might make it in the business. vbg

This is Aaron Tippin and his back up singer. His two boys joined him for one of his songs.

You probably know him for his songs "You have got to stand for something or you will fall for anything", "Kiss This", "Stars & Stripes where the Eagle Flies".

He also sang his "Ain't nothing wrong with the Radio" song that was big a few years ago.

One day we went for an afternoon cruise on the General Jackson Showboat that boards just down the road from where we are staying at Two Rivers Campground.
