First Day at CMA Week

I guess you can it's the calm before the storm. We did get to talk to the boys in the Eli Young Band as they were finding out that they achieved gtheir first number one song with "Crazy Girl". If you think it doesn't mean alot to these folks check out Mark McKay's interview with them here:

Several artists on the comeback trail, in particular, Ty Herndon, who has some excellent new music out as we talked about getting him to the Eagle's Nest for a show.
You can feel the excitement starting to build. The city is starting to "fill up" with folks and the artists begin to really hit the interview trail with us today......Band Perry, Taylor Swift, Chris Young and Hunter Hayes to name just a few.
The big news yesterday was in Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood's press conference as Brad confessecd that oldest son Huck no longer has a "thing" for Carrie. He has now turned his attention to Kimberly of The Band Perry.
We also have a special Eagle Winterblast "tease", so to speak, from one of the bands that you can catch on the interview page, too.
Finally, we hear that 70's/80's icon Kenny Loggins may be coming through today. In case you hadn't heard, he and Blake Shelton will be opening the CMA Awards show with a special version of "Footloose".
Tonight we go to Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's house for a small "gathering". I'll have something on that for you this time tomorrow.
