Preparations are underway for the 2011 CMA Music Festival, and proving the power of Facebook, the organization will use the social media site to announce the first festival performers. The news will hit the CMA’s official Facebook page on Tuesday, Feb. 8 at 10:00 AM (CST). Running June 9-12, 2011, this will mark the 40th anniversary of the event that began as Fan FairŪ.
Half the net proceeds from CMA Music Festival are donated to CMA’s Keep the Music Playing campaign to support music education in Metro Nashville public schools. To date, more than $4.7 million has been contributed on behalf of the artists who perform at the Festival for free.
Luke Bryan hosted and performed at the Keep the Music Playing All Stars Concert last night (2/1) at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center. It honored the best music programs in Metro Nashville Public Schools.
