October Is Country Music Month

Written by: MissMolly On October - 5 - 2012

October Is Country Music Month and CMA Is Ready to Celebrate!

We pretty much celebrate Country Music every single day around here at CMNB, but it looks like October is an extra special time for festivities as it has been declared Country Music Month! Since October 1964 the Country Music Association has recognized the month of October as the official month to especially recognize events and institutions of Country Music!

“‘Country Music Month’ was created to acknowledge in the city of NASHVILLE, the importance of Country music, what it means to our city, what it means to our country, what it means to us as a city in terms of our economy, our reputation as a center for business and tourism.” – Nashville Mayor Karl Dean

Country Music Month culminates in the 46th Annual CMA Awards broadcasting live from the Bridgestone arena in the heart of downtown Nashville on Thursday, November 1st on ABC.

Kellie Pickler Gives Insight Into Her Emotional Connection to New Song “Someone Somewhere Tonight.”

Most often, when I see Kellie Pickler, she is being low key, silly and a whole lot of fun. She is obviously a laid back kind of gal with a really great sense of humor. That being said, it’s interesting to see the flip side of that, and hear her being more serious and insightful. In a recent video posted on her YouTube channel, Pickler is filling in fans on her emotional connection to new song “Someone Somewhere Tonight,” and the story behind the lyrics. It hasn’t been released yet, but this will definitely make you excited to hear more. Check it out below!
