CMAMF Sets New Attendance Mark
All 50 states and 28 countries, including Brazil, Greece,
Japan and Latvia – were represented in the tens of thousands of
fans who were in Nashville for CMA Music Festival (6/5-6/8).
With a stated attendance increase of 9.4% over last year’s
191,000 aggregate, 2008 clocked in with almost 209,000 over
the four-day event – a new record.
That number has not been officially released by CMA,
however, as the trade organization is instead focusing on daily
attendance figures. This year’s average daily attendance was
52,000, up from last year’s 48,000.
“We made a decision this year to announce our attendance as a
Rodney Atkins
daily average rather than
Faith Hill
a four-day aggregate
so people are not
overwhelmed by a huge
number and potentially
turned off from
attending the Festival
because they are
concerned about parking
or moving around
downtown,” CMA CEO
Tammy Genovese
says. “It is actually
much easier than people
think and we want to
communicate that in a
Jamey Johnson
Julianne Hough
new way.”
Issue 93
Fans don’t seem dissuaded by the crowds, however, as
2009 sales are already on a record-setting pace, up 4.2%. Gold
Circle four-day passes sold out in an unprecedented 15 minutes
Saturday. As always, half of net proceeds benefit Nashville
music education. Check pages 5 & 6 for photo coverage of this
year’s festival.
About Face With Universal South
The sidewalk isn’t the most conventional spot for signage,
but Universal South’s concrete graphics (pictured) sure made
an impression during the festival. Country Aircheck ran into Sr.
VP/GM Van Fletcher Thursday morning and asked if the label had
permission for the floor-borne fliers.
“Yeah, but we almost got arrested
anyway,” Fletcher said.
Bruce Burton, the label’s
Manager/National Sales &
Marketing, came up with the
campaign. “They’ve been used in
sports marketing for a while,” he
says. “A guy who makes our promo
items pitched me on them. We got permission from the city, but
still ran into problems.
“As we were putting them down, the police pulled up and
asked what we were doing. We told them we had permission so
they called the mayor’s office, who said they had no idea who
we were or what we were doing. So we sat in the sun for an
hour waiting while everyone called around and figured out it
was okay.”

Burton says the label’s artists appreciated the “face” time.
“Fans were coming up to them saying, ‘I’ve been walking all
over you all week.’” The fun part, Burton adds, was pulling the
graphics back up once the festival was over. “Some of them
came up easy, but most were rather difficult.”
Their Home’s In Ft. Payne, AL
Alabama’s Randy Owen, Teddy Gentry, Jeff Cook and
Mark Herndon were immortalized in Ft. Payne, AL Saturday
(6/7) with the unveiling of larger-than-life bronze statues of the
Country Music Hall of Fame
quartet. Country Aircheck
intrepid reporter Keith Gale –
who doubles as RCA/Nashville
VP/Promotion in his spare time
– attended the event and told
CA, “Jeff Cook spoke about
how he was a little sad that his
dad was not here to witness this
day; that he sold auto parts in a
store directly across the street for 40 years. Mark Herndon told me
he was ‘finally in a heavy metal band.’ Teddy Gentry was so moved
he shed tears and could barely speak. Randy spoke about how many
generations of Owen’s have lived in Ft. Payne and how this was
also an honor to all of them.” The shrine honoring the foursome is
in the Ft. Payne City Park at Gault Ave. and 4th St. NE.
In other Alabama band news, Randy Owen is in Washington,
DC tonight to accept an NAB Education Foundation Service
To America Samaritan Award on behalf of Country Cares For
St. Jude Kids. It is given to a broadcaster or organization
exemplifying the industry’s commitment to use the airwaves
effectively in promoting the public interest. Since its inception,
