We are honored, in this very challenging time, to help provide an escape and deliver a live awards show experience unlike any other this year.” Nominees this year including Brothers Osborne, reigning CMA Musician of the Year Fleenor, and reigning CMA New Artist of the Year and previously announced performer Ashley McBryde will come together with Aldean and Bentley for the first time to perform an epic, multi-song show opening tribute to Charlie Daniels.
