More Stars Added To CMA Music Festival

Billy Currington, Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw and Kellie Pickler are the latest artists to be confirmed for the annual CMA Music Festival in Nashville.  This year’s festival will take place June 10 – 13 in Music City.

Tim’s last appearance at the festival was in 2001 when he was a surprise special guest during Kenny Chesney’s set during the nightly show.  Prior to that, Tim’s last announced performance was in 2000 when the festival was still known as Fan Fair.  The CMA is proud to welcome Tim back as part of the festival this year. “We are thrilled to welcome Tim back to CMA Music Festival in 2010,” said Steve Moore, CMA Board Chairman. “Our event established its tradition of hosting the superstars of our format at its inception in 1972 with artists such as Waylon Jennings, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, and Tammy Wynette. Take a glance at this year’s performer list and you’ll see we’re living up to that tradition.”

Jackson has perhaps been the most supportive superstar of the festival over the years, making 15 appearances at the event since his debut there in 1990.  “We appreciate the tremendous support that Alan has always shown to CMA Music Festival and the fans,” said Moore.

The artists participate for free, and in appreciation, CMA donates half the net proceeds of the Festival to support music education in Metro Nashville Public Schools through the Keep the Music Playing program. To date, $3.3 million has been donated to purchase musical instruments and supplies, providing thousands of Metro Nashville Public Schools students with the resources and opportunities they could not have afforded on their own, and giving many of them a strong reason to remain in school.

Family First For Tim & Faith

Tim McGraw recently sat down with Omaha.com to discuss music, his new tour, and of course, his family that he shares with wife Faith Hill.  Throughout the interview, Tim repeatedly made it known that his daughters (Gracie, 12, Audrey, 11 and Maggie, 8) absolutely come first before anything else.

Read below to see Tim talk about his favorite girls…

Q: You’re getting ready to do a big tour.
A: Biggest tour that I’ve done in awhile. It’s a lot of shows. The boys (in the band) are excited. I’m excited. My kids (Gracie, 12, Maggie, 11, and Audrey, 8) are excited this summer to come out on the road. Everybody’s pretty fired up.
I’ve been in the studio working on a new album, too. In January, I started a new album, a movie and getting ready for this tour, so it’s going to be a pretty busy couple of months.

Q: You’re doing mostly weekends on this tour, right?
A: Mostly weekends during school, but once school is over we’ll hit it harder.

Q: So you get to spend a lot of time with your family?
A: Even days when the kids are in school, I won’t leave home until 4 or 5 in the afternoon and fly in and do the show and then fly home. It’s a lot of air time.

Q: You’re quite a busy guy. How do you schedule everything including family, recording, movies, touring?
A: Family is right up there first — the kids’ schedule and all of the things they’re doing. After that, everything else sort of finds its place.
My wife is very good at organization, so she has all the kids’ schedules, her schedule, her mom’s schedule, all the extracurricular activities and my schedule all lined up.
