- CMA MUSIC FEST 2010
Once again it was time for another CMA Music Festival. As Mike Arnold mentioned in his book, the CMA Fest is the best music festival Concert Blast has ever covered.
The Sign Says It All
From the staff that run the festival, to the locations where the events take place, to the artists, their management, their publicists, and especially the fans! Continue Reading…
On November 2nd, 2009, Cracker Barrel Old Country Store (and restaurant) announced a new line of products, The Alan Jackson Collection, with the country music superstar in person at the Mt. Juliet location. Concert Blast receives all types of requests to cover events for media exposure. Most are concerts or CD review coverage. This is the first time we’ve covered an event at a restaurant. Normally we wouldn’t cover something like this, but this is for country music superstar Alan Jackson. Cracker Barrel Old Country Store (and restaurant) introduced a new merchandising progam, The Alan Jackson Collection, which features menswear and womenswear, food items, collectibles, an Alan Jackson Signiture Rocker, and other exclusive items including a CD titled, ”Songs of Love and Heartache.”
Brian Hasbrook was on hand to cover the event and to take the photos of Alan Jackson’s Collectibles and the Meet and Greet with the 500 plus fans who braved the early cold morning and stood in line for hours to meet Alan Jackson in person at the Cracker Barrel in Mt. Juliet, TN.
