Earlier today during the 8:30 am segement on Good Morning America Darius Rucker and Little Big Town announced the 48th Annual CMA Awards nominees with a CMA Awards Press Conference held at 10 am EST the Association provided the full list of nominees in radio broadcasting and in music via Live Stream. The program shed light on music education and a donation to Save The Music. It was with great pleasure Nashville continues to support music education for children across Tennessee. Every child needs a form of music in their growing lives to better enrich their creativity and express themselves. I'm a continued support of music education.
Many thanks to the Country Music Association
The nominees are in and Miranda Lambert leads with 9 nominations
