CMA Recap
Last night, Nashville’s finest gathered for the Country Music Association Awards, or more widely known as the CMA’s. The evening was jam packed with great performances, big wins, and huge stars.

The biggest award of the night went to Brad Paisley, who got emotional while accepting his Entertainer of the Year trophy.

The Country Can’t Wait
If it wasn’t apparent by my lack of updates recently, I should tell you that I have been quite busy.

Besides the great music you can catch on any given night of the week, the random run ins with my new neighbors, Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, and the southern hospitality, Nashville is playing host to one of the biggest events in country music, the…
