    Concert Blast in the Media Trailer at Memphis in May 2013

    On this fourth Concert Blast Webisode we explain that during the opening night of the Memphis in May Beale Street Music Festival, Sheryl Crow was the first of three acts for the entire weekend to refuse the photographers from taking concert photos of her show. The photographers in the media trailer were very upset on this decision and you will see and hear their rants about her. Brian Hasbrook explains the photo pit access while Tom Thompson and Mike Arnold pick on Brian for not taking photos of Sheryl from the middle of the crowd. Enjoy Concert Blast Webisode 4 – The Sheryl Crow Photo Dilemma – Memphis in May 2013 Part 3.

        Carrie Underwood In Concert - CMA Music Festival 2013

        It was the final night of the CMA Music Festival 2013 at LP Field in Nashville, TN, as the best festival in country music comes to a close.  On this night the Concert Blast staff of Mike Arnold, Tom Thompson, and guest Will Perry took the field for the coverage.  On this night we didn’t have as many photos due to everyone’s set being cut short.  Brad Paisley and The Band Perry performed only two songs while Jake Owen was allowed only one song.  The headliner Carrie Underwood got to perform longer, but not her usual CMA Music Fest set.  Why the short sets?  Because the weather people predicted major storms coming, so they wanted to video all the acts for the upcoming ABC TV Special (August 12th) before the rain hits the stadium.  Enjoy our photographs of our last night of fun at the stadium concerts.

            CMA Music Fest 2013 during the Dierks Bentley concertIt was Saturday night, the third night of the CMA Music Festival 2013 stadium concerts, and of course Concert Blast was there to cover the shows… well Mike Arnold and Tom Thompson were.  Brian Hasbrook called in sick for the remainder of the festival, which means that the excellent photos from Brian that we always rely on will be missing.  Tom had to step in as the emergency photographer and Mike took a few shots as well, as we tried to capture our best of the night.  Our photo work doesn’t compare to Brian Hasbrook or Samantha Shrader, but we did out best to give you our best photo coverage of the night.  On this night of the CMA Music Festival we covered Dierks Bentley, Keith Urban, Florida Georgia Line, Kelly Clarkson (with her guests Trisha Yearwood and Jason Aldean), and the surprise guest performer of the night, Lenny Kravitz.  The night was also co-hosted by Willie, Jase, and Si Robertson from the TV show Duck Dynasty.  There were also some photos of two members of Little Big Town as they announced a performer taking the stage for the ABC TV special footage.  Enjoy Tom Thompson and Mike Arnold‘s  photos from Saturday night’s CMA Music Festival 2013.
