Fans at Riverfront Park Enjoying the CMA Music Festival 2013
Throughout the CMA Music Festival 2013, Concert Blast enjoyed all kinds of experiences. There’s all type of fun from being with fans at the Riverfront Park and stadium concerts, watching the happenings on the street, and many other aspects of this annual event. But what really makes this festival a success is the artists donating their time to entertain us, the city of Nashville, TN, the media (like Concert Blast!), and of course the fans who travel from down the road as well as from around the world to enjoy this week. Check out the photos taken by Mike Arnold, Tom Thompson, and guest Will Perry (substituting for the sick Brian Hasbrook) throughout the weekend.

Grand Funk Railroad In Concert - Don Brewer
It was Saturday, August 25th, when Grand Funk Railroad returned to Nashville, TN to perform once again for the umpteenth time. Grand Funk hasn’t performed in Nashville since early in this century, but in the past they have thrilled their fans with concerts many times. With Mark Farner out of the picture these days, Max Carl on guitar /vocals and former KISS lead guitarist Bruce Kulick has filled the gap, and have done it very well. Mike Arnold, with special guest host, Concert Blast #1 fan, Vivian Johnson, were on hand to review this concert song by song and supply many live clips of this night for the podcast. Enjoy this Concert Review (audio podcast and written blog) and the special sing along at the end of the podcast with the original Concert Blast staff and GFR’s original drummer, Don Brewer!
