Jeff and Justin are CMA Crashers this weekend and week as they drive from Nashville from Philly. Along the way, they are making stops like Cowtown Cowboy Outfitters, Dr. Pepper's Grave and now, the Birthplace of Country Music Museum.
We are almost to Nashville but stopped in the amazing Bristol, Virginia/Tennessee to check out the Birthplace of Country Music Museum which was actually incredible. We weren't sure what to expect but were blown away with it. And, also to add, it is in this amazing little city that just about everyone could fall in love with. Check out the photos below.
What Is The “CMA Crashers”
Last year, the Andie Summers Show won the CMA for Major Market Broadcast Personality. Andie & Shannon were invited to fly to Nashville and accept the award while being able to interview a ton of artists.
This year, XTU was nominated for Major Market Station of the Year. I believe this is the 4th straight year of being nominated for Major Market Station of the Year and unfortunately, we did not take home the Win! Super bummer!
How can you not have XTU down at the CMA Awards? That would be a travesty!
So…What did we decide to do? Shhh, don’t tell anyone. We decided to Crash the CMA’s. Jeff Kurkjian from The Andie Summers Show and XTU weekend DJ extraordinaire Justin Franiak will rent a car and drive down to Nashville. The CMA’s are being held on Wednesday, November 8th and you need a ticket to get in. They might not be able to get a ticket but the artist interviews are being held on Monday & Tuesday.
Keep listening and checking back to this page to see Jeff & Justin’s CMA Crashers journey as they travel from Philly to Nashville. What could possibly go wrong?
Thanks to the Ford and the Ford 150.
