CMA Music Festival, LP Field, Nashville, Tenn.

Already scheduled to appear at Blackbaud Stadium Oct. 19-20 are Willie Nelson & Family, Band Of Horses, The Head and The Heart, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, Dawes, Kacey Musgraves, Natalie Maines, Fitz And The Tantrums, and The Wood Brothers. Also making their presence known will be Clare Bowen from ABC’s “Nashville” and country star Kenny Rogers when they appear for “sit-in” performances with the Zac Brown Band.

But music isn’t the only thing going on at Southern Ground for the festival highlights food as much as it shines its spotlight on music. Brown’s longtime culinary comrade, Chef Rusty Hamlin, brings you tasty treats by some of the biggest names in the cooking biz such as Craig Deihl, RJ Cooper, Kelly Liken and Pastry Chef Claire Chapman serving up the ultimate in southern cuisine.
