to host CMA Global Artist Showcase...
CMA
Music Festival returns by popular demand for a second year in
2005 and features the best in Country Music entertainment from
around the world during the CMA Global Artist Showcase. The event
will be held at The Stage on Broadway, Monday, June 6, at 6:30
PM.
"Last
year, this event proved to be an exciting addition to the CMA
Music Festival Week and was described by many as the unofficial
kick off to a busy week of music and activities,” said Jeff
Walker President of AristoMedia/Marco Promotions and head of CMA’s
Global Markets Task Force. ““Response was standing
room only with a line that stretched out the door and halfway
down a city block on Nashville's historic Broadway. We anticipate
increased enthusiasm this year based on reaction from many of
our overseas attendees who have already placed it on their 'must
attend' list for that week."
Six
internationally known Country Music artists representing five
countries will present an electrifying show guaranteed to please
the format’s most ardent fans. Each artist performing has
garnered a following in their respective territory and many are
multiple Country Music award winners. This is a unique opportunity
for the public to see and hear so many acclaimed international
performers including:

"Last
year’s global artist party featured artists from Brazil,
Greece, The Netherlands, New Zealand and Canada,” Walker
said. “Through this event, the CMA has been able to reach
out to top talent from territories all across the world. Through
our ongoing efforts in embracing these artists, we have been able
to create reciprocal opportunities for our Country enthusiasts
