Riverfront Stage at CMA Music Festival 2008
May 29 to June 3, 2008 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.

Mark Chesnutt is one of the biggest stars we saw all weekend and we saw him perform at least three times. Mark has so many hits it is difficult to pick the ones to mention: "Bubba Shot the Juke Box", "Too hot to fish, too cold to go home",

This fellow is Eddie Raven who was a big star many years ago. In his day he compiled 20 number one hits but I can't remember the names of any.

Tracy Byrd is one of our favorite Country Artist. You probably remember his hits: "Watermelon Crawl", "Jose Cuervo", "The drinking bone is connected to the party bone" "Friend don't take here she is all I got", "Keeper of the stars" and "I'm from the country and like it that way" to name a few of his #1 hits.

Bellamy Brothers on Riverfront Stage 2008 CMA Music Festival
The Bellamy Brothers are prolific songwriters and performers. They have been at this for over 40-years and have published 40-albums or more. Many of their songs are timeless. You will instantly recall some of their hits but there are so many that it is hard to select which ones to mention but here is a sample: "Do you love as good as you look", "If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me", Ragae Cowboy was a #1 hit 33 years ago. When Jeff, our son was a little boy we took him to a concert in Mobile, Alabama where the Bellamy Brothers were playing but Jeff was sound asleep by the time the Bellamy Brothers started singing. If I remember correctly Jeff faded off while Kenny Rogers was crooning. Man I hated to pay that kinda money and Jeff sleep through the good part. vbg! Some more of the Bellamy Brothers hits include: "There is a reason for sun shine sky", "Give me a red neck girl" and "Let your love show". Those are the ones they performed for the audience at River Front Stage.
When the music stopped at River Front Stage it was 6:30. The next venue would be on the Concert Stage across the river in LP Field at 7:45 where Montgomery Gentry, Kellie Pickler, Jewel, Taylor Swift, Sugerland, Luke Bryan and Jennifer Hanson were scheduled to perform.
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.
