Fans at Riverfront Park Enjoying the CMA Music Festival 2013

There’s all type of fun from being with fans at the Riverfront Park and stadium concerts, watching the happenings on the street, and many other aspects of this annual event. But what really makes this festival a success is the artists donating their time to entertain us, the city of Nashville, TN, the media (like Concert Blast!), and of course the fans who travel from down the road as well as from around the world to enjoy this week.

Rick Springfield In Concert - Nashville, TN - Wildhorse Saloon
Posted on 2/25/2013
It was that time of the year again when lovers exchange gifts and/or cards and Rick Springfield rolls into Nashville, TN for his annual Wildhorse Saloon Valentine’s Day performance. Rick Springfield has made a habit to perform in Nashville this time every year, as he told us, “Because the chicks are hot!” Let me say that the 63 year young Rick Springfield is also on fire with his rock n’ roll (and at times hard rock) performance. Rick Springfield put on a 90 minute set consisting of his hits from the 80s, his favorite cover songs, as well as many tunes from his latest album, “Songs for the End of the World“. Rick said the world didn’t end in December 2012 like some predicted, but if it would have, his new album would have been a great soundtrack for it. Enjoy our blog concert review written by Mike Arnold and Mike’s podcast recorded from the Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville, TN.
