The first round of CMA Award performers have been announced, and it’s already shaping up to be another memorable show. Artists confirmed to perform include Jimmie Allen, Brothers Osborne, Eric Church, Dan + Shay, Mickey Guyton featuring Brittney Spencer and Madeline Edwards, Carly Pearce and Ashley McBryde, and Blake Shelton. And that’s just the beginning, with more artists to be announced in the coming weeks. The 55th Annual CMA Awards, hosted by Luke Bryan, airs November 10thon ABC live from the Bridgestone Arena.
Chris Stapleton has been forced to reschedule a trio of shows, including his two shows in Nashville in order to rest his voice. “On doctor's orders, I will need to continue my vocal rest through the weekend in order to fully heal," reads a note on social media. "I am sorry that so many of you have been inconvenienced and I'm truly thankful for your patience and understanding." Chris’ two Nashville shows have been moved to December 10th and 11th, while his concert in Cincinnati is being moved to 2022, although no date has been announced yet. “Nothing is more personal to me than the experience of music,” Chris writes. “I’m eternally grateful for the privilege of sharing in that journey with all of you night after night.” He adds, “Thank you for your continued support and I hope to see you all soon.”
