The Country Music Assocation kicked off its huge, four-day CMA Music Festival today in Nashville, Tenn.
The event includes many concerts, autograph sessions, surprise guests, special events and more.
The lineup includes several Oklahoma stars, including Reba McEntire, Brooks & Dunn, Rascal Flatts and Miranda Lambert.
Here is the schedule for the big nightly concerts:
Today – Brooks & Dunn, Reba McEntire, Julianne Hough, Jimmy Wayne, Darius Rucker, Dierks Bentley, Rascal Flatts, and Brad Paisley.
Friday – Luke Bryan, Little Big Town, Rodney Atkins, Lady Antebellum, Jake Owen, Zac Brown Band, and Jason Aldean.
Saturday – Josh Turner, Jamey Johnson, Jason Michael Carroll, Lee Ann Womack, Wynonna (with a special appearance by The Judds), Trace Adkins, and Martina McBride.
Sunday – Jack Ingram, Heidi Newfield, Montgomery Gentry, Miranda Lambert, John Rich, Taylor Swift, and Kenny Chesney.
The scheduling is a bit tricky for Rascal Flatts, according to guitarist Joe Don Rooney. Rooney, who is from Picher, said the band isn’t playing until after 9:30 tonight at the festival and then trekking to Miami, OK, to play a show at 7 p.m. Friday at Buffalo Run Casino Amphitheatre. Since the venue is only about three miles from where Rooney grew up, the show will be a kind of homecoming for him.
“As soon as we play and come off that stage in Nashville, I’m gonna get on my bus and head west. It’s about a 10-hour drive, so probably get there in the morning around 10 or so,” said Rooney, who added he hopes he kind find time to play golf with his dad.
