Recently here at The CMBeat, I got to go to a great event and I can’t wait to share more about it! I got to attend a taping of two episodes for the popular show, Larry’s Country Diner, which is filmed at Ray Stevens’ Cabaret Theater just right outside of Nashville, Tennessee!

Even though the holiday season is now over, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s never a good time to help support some of your local causes.
Last year, The CMBeat did a feature on the non-profit organization, Christmas 4 Kids, which is a cause that helps collect and donate toys for children that may be less fortunate in the Middle Tennessee area.

(Spoiler Alert! If you don’t want to know what happens in Season 5, might be best to stop reading now!) Continue reading

British pop music sensation, Adele, opened the show with a beautiful performance of her hit song, Hello.

Other standout mainstream music moments included a performance by Ed Sheeran, a tribute to Prince that featured Bruno Mars, and another tribute to the Bee Gees, featuring a memorable arrangement of their iconic hit, Stayin’ Alive, performed by Demi Lovato.
Although pop music and pop artists seemed to monopolize most of the night, country music had plenty of great moments as well. Continue reading
