This Week in Music: 6/3/13

This week is the CMA Music Festival in Nashville so much is centered around country music. I like some of it, but you know, ehhh. Even if you don't like country music, CMA week can still be fun. Last year they had the Budweiser Clydsdale horses, a dog competition, and tons of freebies. It is also fantastic for people watching. Pure Hilarity! I love to watch the people go nuts over seeing their favorite artists. Add drunk people and heat and it doesn't get any better. The Hubs and I will probably go downtown one day just for kicks.

Also, this week... Shovels & Rope (and Dawes) will be at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. I missed my chance to see them last year. They are so impressive. Since they have four Americana Music Award nominations, I am really hoping they will play at the Americana Honors & Awards show too (also held at the Ryman).
