This week is a big one for music festivals. The 10th Annual CMA Music Festival is going on in Nashville. They used to call the event, “Fan Fair,” but a few years ago the “suits” decided to try for a bigger money grab and expand the music genre beyond just Country Music. Most people don’t like that – but what can you do?
The other big event around here is the same week – how stupid was that scheduling? – about an hour south of town: Bonnaroo. This festival brings thousands of music fans of all genres and all ages to a big field with a dozen temporary stages for a week long music fest.
